About this map

The Genesee River cuts a wide, meandering valley through this portion of Allegany County, shaping the development of settlements like Belfast and Angelica. In the mid-1960s, the landscape reflects a transition from early industrial transport to modern infrastructure, evidenced by the trace of the Genesee Valley Canal and the active Erie Lackawanna Railroad corridor. The village of Angelica serves as a focal point, featuring the County Fairgrounds, an Athletic Field, and the Central Sch.

Upland areas are marked by significant State Reforestation Area tracts, while the valley floor is dotted with small rural landmarks such as the Transit Bridge Ch and Chamberlain Cem. Topographical features like Peacock Hill and Jacobs Hill overlook a network of tributary waters including Angelica Creek and Wigwam Creek, illustrating the deeply carved drainage patterns of the Southern Tier plateau.
