About this map

Wiscoy Creek and its many tributaries, including Spring Brook and Bush Brook, define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape where the Wyoming and Allegany county line meets. The village of Pike serves as a primary local hub, connected to outlying hamlets like Bliss, Wing, and Hardys by a network of traditional corridors such as Telegraph Rd and Lyonsburg Rd. These routes trace the high ground between creek valleys, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local topography and agricultural needs.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including Lyonsburg Cem and Pike Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions into more wooded and creek-carved terrain, with Cold Creek and Elm Creek flowing through areas accessible via Trall Rd. The map illustrates the contemporary state of these long-established communities, showing the enduring structure of western New York's rural townships.
