About this map

Ashford and the surrounding high ground of Cattaraugus County define this landscape of deep hollows and prominent summits. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and geographic features such as Canada Hill, Crosby Hill, and McGuan Hollow. Waterways like Great Valley Cr and Devereaux Br carve through the topography, reflecting a drainage pattern that has historically shaped local travel and settlement.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of the Bryant Hill Cem and Root Cem, which are key markers of early community life in areas like Sommerville Valley and Devereaux. The map also captures the rural character of northern New York through sprawling wetlands like Bird Swamp and Beaver Meadows, showing the persistent natural boundaries that dictate the modern road network, including Bakerstand Rd and Tug Hill Rd.
