1965 Map of Belmont
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Genesee River cuts through the heart of this Allegany County landscape, serving as the focal point for the village of Belmont. This mid-1960s survey documents the transition from the river valley to the surrounding uplands, where the Erie-Lackawanna railroad follows the watercourse and Van Campen Creek. The rural economy is clearly visible through clusters of Oil Wells and several gravel pits scattered across the hills. Genealogy researchers will find numerous family and community landmarks, including the Sortore Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Utopia Cem. The map preserves the layout of small settlements like Belvidere and Higgins during a period of steady industrial and agricultural activity, while the State Reforestation Area in the northwest corner highlights early conservation efforts in the region.
