About this map

The Allegheny Reservoir dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain, reflecting a period of significant landscape alteration within the Allegany Indian Reservation. This survey captures the transition of the valley floor as modern infrastructure, including the Conrail lines and several pipelines, intersects with long-established settlements. Along the banks of the Allegheny River, localized landmarks like Bucktooth Rapids and Newtons Eddy remain visible near the corporate boundary of Salamanca.

Highland areas such as Dutch Hill and Parker Hill are defined by extensive forest cover, including the State Reforestation Area. Cultural features are scattered throughout the hills and hollows, from the Little Valley Rod and Gun Club near The Narrows to the Jimmerson Town Ch and Full Gospel Mission further south. These sites, along with rural cemeteries like Maple Grove Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Cattaraugus County.
