About this map

Allegany Indian Reservation lands and the valley of the Allegheny River define the southern landscape of this 1962 survey. The topographical data captures a period of transition for the river corridor, specifically noting areas subject to controlled inundation related to the Allegheny Reservoir. Indigenous heritage and community life are grounded in landmarks like the Missionary Indian Ch and the Full Gospel Mission, alongside settlements such as Jimmersontown and Shongo.

Industry and transport are represented by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad, which follows the curve of the river past Bucktooth Island and the Salamanca Airport. Further north, the terrain rises into the State Reforestation Area and prominent elevations like Shutts Hill and The Narrows. This area also includes the village of Little Valley and several historic burial grounds, including Maple Grove Cem and Crawford Cem, providing a detailed look at rural New York settlement patterns before significant modern development.
