About this map

Cattaraugus and the village of Little Valley anchor this modern topographic view of Cattaraugus County, characterized by a series of narrow valleys or hollows that dictate the region's transport and settlement patterns. The village of Little Valley serves as a focal point, hosting the Cattaraugus County Courthouse and the Little Valley Rural Cem. Between these primary settlements, the landscape is defined by drainage features like the South Branch Cattaraugus Creek and the southern Little Valley Creek, which flows past the waters of Linlyco Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Immanuel Lutheran Cem near Otto and Liberty Park Cem in Cattaraugus. Distinctive local landmarks such as Berdick Field and family-named hollows like Skinner Hollow and Toad Hollow reveal the persistence of historical place names in this part of Western New York. The map also traces recreational corridors such as the Cattaraugus Snowbounders Trl, indicating the contemporary use of the area's timbered ridges.
