About this map

Birdsall serves as the focal point for this rural Allegany County landscape, where the headwaters of several notable drainage systems diverge. The terrain is defined by its numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Weaver Settlement Cem in the north and the German Settlement Cem near Grunder Hill. These sites, along with Brewer Corners Cem and White Cem, anchor the genealogy of the area's early farming communities.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Canisteo River appearing in the southeast corner while Keshequa Cr and Black Cr wind through the central uplands. Small settlements like Brewer Corners and Centre are connected by a network of local routes such as Weaver Settlement Rd and Old State Rd, reflecting a settlement pattern that remained largely tied to its agricultural roots into the early 21st century.
