About this map

Conewango Creek serves as the central drainage for this western New York landscape, winding through a broad valley floor flanked by significant elevations like Seager Hill Rd. The map illustrates the convergence of several small hamlets, including Kennedy, Ellington, and Clear Creek, which developed around the local water system and early road networks. The influence of local families on the land is evident in the numerous namesake roads and upland landmarks such as Campbell Field.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the township lines, including the Pioneer Cem near Ellington and the Sample Hill Cem further east. The transition between Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties is clearly marked, cutting through the settlement at Conewango Valley. The map also captures the varied hydrology of the region, from the wetlands surrounding Fly Cr to the narrow runs of Indian Brook and Harris Brook.
