About this map

The Genesee River cuts a wide valley through northern Allegany County, anchoring a network of small agricultural hamlets and crossroads. The village of Fillmore sits at the confluence with Cold Creek, while further north, the water power once harnessed by early industry is reflected in the name of Mills Mills and the nearby settlement of Wiscoy. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of early community sites, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds including Pine Grove Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and the East Caneadea Cem.

South of the river, the landscape rises into higher country marked by creeks like Rush Creek and Shongo Cr. This area remains rural, defined by long-standing family farm roads and small clusters at West Allen and Allen Center. These upland settlements, including the quiet crossroads at Short Tract, show a persistent land use pattern centered around small churches and cemeteries like Saint Pauls Lutheran Church Cem, which serve as the enduring landmarks of this corner of Western New York.
