2023 Map of Little Valley

About this map

Little Valley and Salamanca anchor the northern and southern reaches of this landscape, where the waters of Little Valley Creek and the Allegheny River have shaped local settlement. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Dutch Hill and Bucktooth Hill, cut through by numerous hollows and runs such as Dublin Hollow and Sunfish Run. This modern survey traces a complex network of multi-use pathways that have replaced older transport corridors, including the North Country National Scenic Trail, the Pat McGee Trail, and various snowmobile and horse trails. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of Maple Grove Cem and Annis Cem, while river landmarks like Bucktooth Rapids and Newtons Eddy highlight the area's historic reliance on the Allegheny waterway. The smaller communities of Elkdale and Shongo sit amidst this wooded valley system, connected by a winding road network that skirts the base of peaks like Parker Hill and Jimmerson Hill.
