2016 Map of Delevan

About this map

Lime Lake serves as a central landmark in this portion of Cattaraugus County, flanked by the residential community of Lime Lake and the larger village of Machias. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Elton Cr and Ischua Cr, which carve through the terrain near the prominent Pigeon Hill. Significant for local historians and genealogists, the area is dotted with numerous burial grounds including Maplehurst Cem, Elton Cem, and Siloam Cem. Small settlements like Sandusky and Elton are connected by a network of rural routes such as Delevan Elton Rd and Hooper Corners RD. The map reveals a transition from the concentrated housing around the lakes to the high ground of Hog Hollow and the valley floors of Ischua Valley, reflecting a long history of water-dependent settlement and upland farming.
