About this map

The Allegheny River valley forms the industrial and residential heart of this southern New York landscape, where the city of Olean and neighboring Allegany serve as primary hubs. Higher elevations and deeply carved valleys like Hannigan Hollow and Geiger Hollow surround the urban center, creating a stark contrast between the riverfront developments and the wooded uplands of Hartzfelt Mountain. The map details the academic grounds of Saint Bonaventure University and the Saint Bonaventure Church, highlighting the area's long-standing cultural and educational significance.

South of the river, smaller settlements such as Seneca Heights and South Olean give way to more rural markers like Flatiron Rock and Moore Ridge. Local transport and commerce are represented by the Giermek Executive Airport and the network of roads reaching out toward Westons Mills and the high ground at Rock City. For those tracing local history, the locations of Mount View Cem and B'nai Israel Cem provide essential geographic context for the community's genealogical record.
