About this map

Humphrey and Humphrey Center anchor this rural landscape in the southern tier of New York, where high ridges and deep hollows dictate the settlement patterns. The topography is defined by the drainage of Wrights Cr and Fivemile Cr, which have carved out notable landforms like Bear Hollow and Flint Hollow. Family and local history are preserved in several scattered burial grounds, including the Saint Pacificus Catholic Cem and the Cole Cem located near the town center.

Small clusters of homes at Sugartown and Willoughby are connected by a network of winding roads like Sugartown Rd and Bonnie Way E. The map shows a clear preference for building along the flatter valley floors, leaving the higher elevations like Cooper Hill and Chapell Hill primarily for forest or pasture. This survey captures the enduring rural character of Cattaraugus County before any significant modern development altered its traditional road and creek systems.
