2019 Map of Little Valley

About this map

Little Valley anchors the northern extent of this landscape, where the terrain breaks into the narrow valleys of Little Valley Creek and Dublin Hollow. The topography is defined by prominent peaks like Shutts Hill and Bucktooth Hill, carved by a complex network of runs including West Branch Bucktooth Run and Sawmill Run. A portion of the North Country National Scenic Trail winds through these heights, offering a modern passage through a landscape historically shaped by small settlements like Elkdale and Shongo. To the south, the terrain descends toward the river flats of Salamanca, where Bucktooth Rapids and Newtons Eddy mark the river's path. Local heritage is preserved in sites such as Maple Grove Cemetery and Annis Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this corner of Cattaraugus County.
