2010 Map of Bolivar

About this map

Bolivar and Richburg sit at the heart of this Allegany County landscape, connected by the winding course of Little Genesee Creek. The map reflects a deeply settled rural corridor where local life historically centered on the creek valley and the surrounding hills. Genealogy researchers will find several burial grounds documented, including Richburg Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Maple Lawn Cemetery near the town centers, as well as the more isolated Well Cemetery further south. The terrain is defined by a series of named hollows and heights, such as Richburg Hill and Jordan Hill, which historically dictated the paths of local roads like Salt Rising Rd and Kansas Hollow Rd. Smaller settlements like Sanford and Kossuth are also recorded, marking the intersections and valley floors that have supported these communities into the twenty-first century.
