About this map

Ivory lies at the heart of this mid-1950s survey, marking a quiet crossroads where Case Run meets the local road network. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the broad valley of Conewango Creek in the northwest and the deeply etched drainage systems of Bone Run and Sawmill Run to the southeast. Family-named landmarks are frequent throughout this portion of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties, seen in features like Oak Hill and Wheeler Hill.

Social and community centers are preserved in the locations of the Oak Hill Ch, Wheeler Hill Ch, and the Oak Hill Cem. The era's communications infrastructure is represented by the Radio Tower (WFTM) near Carroll. A complex web of rural routes, such as Emory Hill Road and Woodchuck Road, connects dispersed settlements like Vollentine, Clark, and Dodge, illustrating the late-stage development of these highland townships before modern bypasses.
