About this map

Olean sits at a geographic crossroads in the Southern Tier, where the Allegheny River and Olean Creek define the valley floor. This survey documents the city and its surrounding satellite neighborhoods, including Boardmanville, North Olean, and South Olean. To the west, the campus of Saint Bonaventure Univ and the village of Allegany are prominent, situated near the Wnyp RR corridor that historically drove regional industry.

The landscape rises sharply into high ridges and narrow hollows south of the river, where geological landmarks like Rock City Natural Bridge and Flatiron Rock are located near the high point of Hartzfelt Mtn. Local history is preserved in named sites like Mount View Cem and B'nai Brith Cem, while smaller settlements such as Weston Mills and Haydenville mark the reaches of the northern and eastern valleys.
