2016 Map of Oswayo

About this map

Oswayo Creek and its many tributaries, including S Br Oswayo Cr and Elevenmile Cr, define the drainage patterns of this borderland between Potter County, Pennsylvania, and Allegany County, New York. Small settlements such as Millport, Coneville, and Kibbeville sit along the valley floors, connected by a network of rural routes like Kelleytown Rd and Eleven Mile Rd. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of hollows, many bearing family names that serve as vital markers for local historians, such as Dutton Hollow, Lawson Hollow, and Tyler Hollow. Adams Airport stands as a notable landmark in the southwest near Clara, while the high ground is traversed by paths like Turkey Path Rd. The map reveals a landscape where the sharp relief of the hills has dictated the placement of roads and homesteads, maintaining a pattern of development focused on the natural corridors created by the flowing water.
