2013 Map of Little Valley

About this map

Allegheny Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Cattaraugus County region, where the water flows over the Bucktooth Rapids and past Newtons Eddy. The terrain is defined by a series of steep ridges and secluded valleys, including The Narrows and Dublin Hollow. Several small settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout, such as Elkdale and Shongo, reflecting a rural character that persists into the 21st century. Genealogists may find value in the documented locations of several local burial grounds, including Annis Cem near Little Valley Creek and Maple Grove Cem. The map illustrates the complex drainage network of the area, with numerous runs like Sunfish Run and Sawmill Run carving through the uplands between Parker Hill and Jimmerson Hill.
