1979 Map of Hinsdale

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The confluence of Ischua Creek and Olean Creek dictates the development of this eastern Cattaraugus County landscape, where the settlements of Hinsdale, Maplehurst, and Ischua are tethered to the valley floor. Transportation corridors, including the Conrail line and several local valley roads, follow the natural breaks between heavily wooded ridges like Bozard Hill and Cooper Hill. This late 1970s revision highlights the persistence of rural institutions, such as the Union Valley Ch and Maple Grove Cem, alongside mid-century infrastructure like the Olean Municipal Airport. The map's detail reveals a landscape defined by hollows—such as Gile Hollow and Morgan Hollow—which served as the primary arteries for family homesteads and small-scale agriculture throughout the township's history. Occasional Oil Well and Gravel Pit labels indicate the quiet presence of local industry amidst the Reforestation Area.
