About this map

Cattaraugus Cr winds through this western New York landscape, carving a deep valley that defines the local geography. The area is characterized by a series of high points like Cobble Knob and Hammond Hill that rise above the agricultural flats. Several small hamlets and historical gathering points are documented here, including Ashford Hollow and Thomas Corners. The presence of numerous burial grounds, such as Ashford Hollow Cem and Franktown Cem, provides a clear view of the early settlement patterns and family lineages in the region.

Transportation and water have long shaped the growth of communities like Brooklyn and Whiteford Hollow. Historic crossings such as Scoby Bridge and Frye Bridge highlight where rural roads meet the creek's path. Further north, the legacy of rail and small industry is visible at Edies Siding and near the Hedge Hop Field Airport, illustrating how this rural area maintained its connections to the wider region through the early twenty-first century.
