About this map

Letchworth State Park and the deep gorge of the Genesee River anchor the western edge of this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the steep descent from the uplands down into the Keshequa Creek valley, where the village of Nunda sits as a primary hub of settlement. The transit infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad line cutting through the southern half of the map near Dalton and Rosses.

Genealogists and local historians can find several smaller communities such as Barkertown, Oakland, and Hunt Hollow, along with numerous family-named roads like Dygert Road and Kendall Road. Several rural burial grounds are documented, including St Helena Cem and Oakwood Cem. The map also captures the managed wilderness of the Rattle Snake Hill State Wildlife Management Area in the southeast, contrasting with the more developed agricultural and village lands to the north.
