2019 Map of Dale

About this map

Attica Reservoir and the headwaters of Little Tonawanda Cr anchor this upland landscape in Wyoming County. The area is characterized by deep ravines known locally as gulfs, including Ewell Gulf, Dusing Gulf, and Dale Gulf, which cut through the high ridges of Colton Hill and Wheelers Hill. These dramatic elevation changes influenced the early settlement patterns of hamlets like Dale and Attica Center, where local life was organized around small crossroads and family-held lands. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, such as Brainard Cem near the Genesee County line and the Dale Pioneer Cem. The presence of numerous wetlands, including Webbers Swamp and Bannan Swamp, highlights the poorly drained plateau soils that define the rural character between the larger valley settlements of Warsaw and Linden.
