2019 Map of Freedom

About this map

The Allegany and Cattaraugus County line divides this rural landscape, where small hamlets like Freedom and Farmersville Station anchor a network of country roads. The terrain is defined by high ridges such as Bush Hill and Cream Ridge, which separate the headwaters of Elton Creek and Caneadea Creek. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, ranging from the Old Burying Grounds in the south to the Salem Cemetery in the northwest corner. The map traces local thoroughfares like County Road 3 and New York State Route 243, which connect the scattered homesteads and farming operations that have long characterized this region. Smaller water bodies like Burleson Pond and Moores Pond are tucked into the drainages of Clear Creek, providing a detailed look at the local hydrography as it existed in 2019.
