About this map

The Genesee River carves a winding path through this mid-1960s survey of Allegany County, anchoring a landscape where agricultural plateaus meet steep wooded hills. The village of Angelica serves as a local hub, featuring the County Fairgrounds and Central Sch, while the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad traces the valley floor, connecting the settlements of Belfast, Oramel, and Belvidere.

Evidence of the region's rural character is preserved in the network of family-named landmarks and institutions, from Christ Ch and Transit Bridge Ch to the small community of Aristotle. Large tracts of the State Reforestation Area occupy the higher elevations of Caneadea and Friendship, contrasting with the active gravel pits and riverfront camps like Brentwood Camp that define the valley's economy and social life during this era.
