2010 Map of Belmont

About this map

The Genesee River cuts through the northern half of this landscape, serving as the focal point for the settlement of Belmont. This area of Allegany County shows a pattern of river-valley development and upland farming typical of the region. The map documents several outlying communities and points of interest, including Higgins and Inavale, which are connected by a network of rural roads following the various creek drainages. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites across the terrain, from Saint Marys Cemetery and Forest Hills Cemetery near the village center to more remote locations like Mount Hope Cemetery, Norton Cemetery, and Sirtore Cemetery. The hydrology is particularly well-defined, with numerous named tributaries such as Van Campen Creek, Snowball Hollow Creek, and Long Gore Creek carving through the local topography.
