About this map

Conewango Creek and its many tributaries, including the West Branch Conewango Creek and Blaisdell Cr, carve through the complex topography of this Western New York region. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the broad, marshy lowlands of the valley floor and the significant elevations of Aldrich Hill and Pickup Hill. The boundary between Chautauqua County and Cattaraugus County runs directly through the center of the sheet, dividing several small rural centers.

Settlement patterns follow the valley edges and road intersections, seen at Cherry Creek, South Dayton, and the smaller crossroads of Skunks Corner and Rays Corners. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by long-standing landmarks such as Highland Cem and Union Cem. In the northeast, the South Dayton Airport serves the local community, while a dense network of country roads like Kent Switch Rd and Frog Valley Rd connects the dairy and agricultural lands of the plateau.
