About this map

The Genesee River cuts a wide valley through this portion of Allegany County, providing the primary corridor for the village of Belmont and the smaller community of Belvidere. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and high ridges, including Corbin Hill and Middaugh Hill, where local roads trace the topography. Settlement patterns follow the water, with the village of Friendship established along Van Campen Creek to the west.

Genealogists will find an exceptional number of family and community burial sites scattered throughout the hills, from Saint Marys Cem and Forest Hills Cem near the river to the more remote Sortore Cem and Utopia Cem. The southern reaches of the map show smaller crossroads and hamlets like Inavale and Knight Creek, connected by a network of rural routes such as Old Friendship Hill Rd and Snowball Hollow Creek.
