About this map

The Allegany County Courthouse serves as a central anchor in the village of Belmont, where the Genesee River meets the mouths of several local tributaries. This modern survey illustrates the persistent layout of local valley settlements, including Belvidere and Inavale, which are connected by a network of rural roads traversing the area's significant vertical relief. Hilltop labels such as Transit Hill Rd and Starvation Hill Rd suggest a history of challenging cultivation on the high ground overlooking the Van Campen Creek valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the township, ranging from the central Forest Hills Cem and Saint Marys Cem in the village to more isolated locations like Sortore Cem and Utopia Cem. The landscape is defined by its deep creek hollows, including Long Gore Cr and Snowball Hollow Cr, which dictate the placement of family-named thoroughfares such as Ackerman Hill Rd and Morgan Hill Rd.
