2016 Map of Dale

About this map

Attica Center and Orangeville Center anchor the western portion of this landscape, where the headwaters of Stony Brook and Wards Brook have carved deep local depressions known as gulfs. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations like Colton Hill and Wheelers Hill, which separate the agricultural plateaus from the Wyoming Valley in the southeast. Numerous small cemeteries, including Dale Pioneer Cem and Carlton Hill Cem, are scattered throughout the rural landscape, offering valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking early families in Wyoming County. The inclusion of the Attica Reservoir and several named swamps like Bannan Swamp indicates a complex hydrological system that feeds into the Oatka Creek drainage. The map's grid of rural roads, such as Co Rd 15 and Molasses Hill Rd, connects these isolated settlements and family burial grounds across the rolling New York uplands.
