About this map

Cattaraugus Creek and Wiscoy Creek carve through this landscape at the intersection of Wyoming, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties. The village of Bliss serves as a local hub on the eastern edge, while smaller crossroads like Waldos Corners and East Arcade dot the rural interior. The topography is defined by a series of north-south ridges and valley brooks, including Spring Brook and North Branch.

Evidence of the mid-century agricultural and recreational economy is visible through numerous Gravel Pits, the State Reforestation Area in the southeast, and specialized sites like Good News Camp and Camp Deerwood Forest. The map also captures several man-made or expanded water bodies such as Dream Lake, Lake Willene, and Hiram Lake, highlighting the development of the region's water resources for local use.
