About this map

Ashford and Bakerstand anchor this portion of Cattaraugus County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Great Valley Creek and its many tributaries. The area's geography is notably divided between high ridges and deep valleys, with named terrain features like Canada Hill and Crosby Hill overlooking lowland settlements. Genealogists and local historians can trace family land ties through numerous road names that mirror the topography and local history, such as Fancy Tract and the distinctively named Morgan Hollow.

Water plays a central role in the local infrastructure, with Devereaux Branch, Forks Creek, and Beaver Meadows Creek carving through the terrain near the hamlets of Devereaux and Bird. The presence of Root Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle serves as a primary point of interest for those researching early residents of this rural New York township. The map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns and road networks that have facilitated life in this upland region for generations.
