About this map

Allegany State Park dominates the western half of this landscape, where the terrain is marked by deep valleys like Stoddard Hollow and high points such as Mount Irvine. This section of Cattaraugus County illustrates a clear divide between the protected woodlands of the park and the industrial and transit corridor to the east. Along the Allegheny River, a string of settlements including Carrollton, Riverside Junction, and Limestone follow the river valley, connected by a network of roads and rail lines that historically served the region's timber and oil interests.

Within the park, specialized infrastructure is evident, ranging from the Bova Ski Tow near Camp Number Eight to the geological formations at Thunder Rocks. The presence of the Limestone Cem and various "camps" such as Camp Arrowhead reflect the area's dual identity as both a permanent residential community and a seasonal recreational destination. Numerous brooks and runs, including Red House Brook and Tunungwant Cr, feed into the primary river system, defining the drainage patterns of this border region.
