About this map

Cattaraugus Creek carves a deep valley along the border of Erie and Cattaraugus Counties, serving as the defining geographical feature of this rural landscape. The settlement of Springville sits at the northern edge, where the creek is spanned by several crossings including the Scoby Bridge and Felton Bridge. The area is characterized by high, dissected terrain such as Hammond Hill and Dutch Hill, with numerous named hollows and smaller settlements like Ashford Hollow and Whiteford Hollow tucked between the ridges.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several family and community burial sites, including the Franktown Cem, Weber Cem, and Ashford Hollow Cem. The transport network relies on the winding courses of Connoisaurauley Cr and Buttermilk Creek, which are paralleled by historical routes like Zoar Valley Rd and Fox Valley Rd. This map documents the rural character of the Western New York uplands in the early 21st century.
