About this map

Freedom and the rural hills of northern Cattaraugus and Allegany counties are meticulously documented in this 2016 survey. The landscape is defined by its deep commitment to local heritage, evidenced by numerous burial sites such as Salem Cem, Freedom Cem, and the Old Burying Grounds near Rushford. These cemeteries, often positioned near historic road intersections and town lines, provide a clear record of early settlement patterns in Western New York.

Water features like Crystal Lake and Moores Pond interrupt the high ground of Cream Ridge and Bush Hill. The map also traces a section of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the territory south of Fairview. Transport and utility routes are reflected in the grid of county line roads and small hubs like Farmersville Station, marking the transition from agricultural valley floors to the elevated ridges overlooking Caneadea Creek.
