About this map

The Genesee River valley dominates this portion of Allegany County, carving a path through a landscape defined by small rural hamlets and agricultural tradition. The village of Fillmore sits at a bend in the river, serving as a focal point for a network of winding country roads such as Ballard Rd and Schuckneck Rd. To the east, the terrain rises toward the community of Short Tract, where the local Short Tract Cemetery and nearby Rush Creek Bridge anchor the social geography of the upland area.

Agricultural patterns are evidenced by the distribution of family-named landmarks and scattered cemeteries, including East Caneadea Cemetery and Basswood Hill Cemetery. In the southern reaches, the hamlets of West Allen and Allen Center reflect the enduring settlement structure of the New York interior, where drainages like Shongo Creek and Wigwam Creek guided the placement of early farms and thoroughfares.
