About this map

The Genesee River valley dominates this Allegany County landscape, serving as the historical spine for early transport and settlement. Evidence of the region's 19th-century infrastructure remains visible through the alignment of the Genesee Valley Canal, which once connected the Erie Canal to the Allegheny River. The village of Angelica stands as a primary hub, surrounded by smaller communities like Belfast, Belvidere, and the interestingly named Aristotle.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented across the quadrangle, including the evocatively named Until the Day Dawn Cem and the Riverside Cem. The terrain rises from the riverbanks toward distinctive high points such as Jacobs Hill and Peacock Hill, while the waterway network is fed by numerous tributaries including Angelica Creek, Wigwam Creek, and Van Campen Creek.
