2010 Map of Gowanda

About this map

Cattaraugus Creek carves a deep path through this landscape, defining the topography and local boundaries of the Southern Tier. The waterway flows through the dramatic Zoar Valley and passes the village of Gowanda, where the Gowanda Waterworks and Broadway Cemetery sit above the riverbanks. The surrounding terrain is a network of small agricultural settlements and hamlets, including Bagdad, Dayton, and Perrysburg. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped, such as Pine Hill Cemetery and Jolls Cemetery. The intricate drainage system of the area is highlighted by Thatcher Brook and Point Peter Brook, which feed into the main creek. Southward, the map details the rural character of Persia and the small enclave of Markhams, connected by a web of local roads like Skinner Hollow Rd and Forty Rd.
