1965 Map of Belmont

About this map

Belmont serves as the focal point of this Allegany County landscape, where the Genesee River carves a path through the valley. The map documents a mid-century period of revision, showing the established Conrail rail line and the intricate network of upland roads like Middaugh Hill Road and Corbin Hill Road. Numerous family and community burial grounds are scattered across the terrain, including St Marys Cem, Forest Hills Cem, and the remote Sortore Cem, providing essential locations for genealogical research. The northern section is dominated by the State Reforestation Area, while the central ridges are dotted with Oil Wells Road and a Lookout and Radio Tower. Small settlements like Belvidere and Inavale reflect the rural character of the southern New York Tier during the 1960s and 1970s.
