About this map

Cattaraugus Creek winds along the southwestern boundary of this Erie County landscape, where the agricultural traditions of Western New York are clearly preserved. Small agricultural operations like Awalds Berry Farm and Stonehill Orchard are interspersed with residential hubs like North Collins and Lawtons. The map reveals a high density of sites significant to local genealogy and religious history, including the Friends Meetinghouse Burial Grounds and the Huson Family Cemetery.

A network of deep ravines, labeled as gulfs, cuts through the terrain, most notably Franklin Gulf and Hussey Gulf, which influence the local road patterns. In the south, Taylor Hollow and the Gowanda Airport sit near the transition to more varied elevations. The presence of the Iroquois settlement near Clear Creek reflects the complex cultural and geographic layout of this portion of the Niagara Frontier during the early 21st century.
