About this map

The Genesee River cuts a prominent path through this 1964 landscape, anchoring a valley filled with dairy farming and small-town infrastructure. The village of Fillmore stands as a local hub, featuring St Patricks Ch, a Wesleyan Ch, and Hank Muller Memorial Field. This era shows a community well-connected by the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and the specialized dairy economy, evidenced by the Cheese Factory Road to the south.

Beyond the river bottom, the terrain rises into high ridges like Steadman Hill and Basswood Hill, much of which is designated as State Reforestation Area. Historic hamlets like Rossburg and Short Tract are meticulously detailed with their respective churches and cemeteries, such as Short Tract Cem. Smaller settlements like Allen Center and Shongo appear alongside rural landmarks such as the Rush Creek Bridge and the East Caneadea Ch, providing a detailed record of mid-century Allegany County.
