About this map

The Genesee River carves a winding path through this Allegany County landscape, anchoring the settlements of Belfast and Angelica. In the mid-1960s, the area's agricultural and rural character is defined by a dense network of family-named roads and landmarks, including Aristotle and Belvidere. The map reveals the civic and spiritual foundations of these communities, from the Central Sch and County Fairgrounds in Angelica to the Transit Bridge Ch and Christ Ch near the riverbanks.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the Conrail line and significant local routes like Belvidere Road and State Road. Local history is preserved in the placement of the Chamberlain Cem and Allen Cem, while the rugged hills such as Peacock Hill and Brainard Hill hem in the river valley. Extensive State Reforestation Area parcels show the transition of former farmland back into managed forest, a common sight in this era of New York's Southern Tier.
