About this map

The Genesee River carves a deep valley through this portion of Allegany County, anchoring a series of small settlements and agricultural hamlets. The village of Fillmore serves as a primary hub, situated near the confluence of Cold Creek and the river. Northward, the landscape transitions into the smaller communities of Wiscoy and Rossburg, while the northernmost corner is marked by the distinctive naming of Mills Mills. These settlements are linked by a network of rural roads that climb the steep valley walls, revealing the region's historical reliance on river-bottom farming and small-scale water-powered industry.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data across the quadrangle, from the Holy Cross Cem near the river to the Short Tract Cem further east in Short Tract. The presence of Allen Center and West Allen in the southern reaches, along with the Rush Creek Bridge crossing Rush Creek, provides a detailed look at the geographic distribution of families and local infrastructure in the early 21st century.
