2013 Map of Collins Center

About this map

Cattaraugus Cr carves a deep path through the landscape of western New York, forming the central geographic feature of this 2013 survey. The settlement of Collins Center sits in the northwest, serving as a local hub near Clear Cr. This era shows a rural landscape defined by family-named cemeteries and agricultural roads, with Zoar Bridge providing a critical crossing over the creek. The map details a network of waterways including Waterman Brook, Coon Brook, and Derby Brook that feed into the larger creek system. In the southeast, the village of East Otto is depicted with its local Post Office and nearby E Otto Cem. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating small burial grounds like Knight Cem, Brooklyn Cem, and Barber Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills and valleys of this rural region.
