1972 Map of Pike

About this map

Wiscoy Creek and Emory Brook converge at the village of Pike, a focal point of this rural Wyoming County landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. The village is home to the County Fairgrounds, while the surrounding terrain is marked by family-named crossroads like Pike Five Corners and Hardys. The map reveals a transition toward conservation and recreation, evidenced by the large State Reforestation Area in the southwest and Camp Sam Wood near the Allegany County line. Genealogists will find specific value in the placement of Lyonsburg Cem and Alger Cem, alongside several other unnamed burial grounds. The settlement pattern follows a dense network of country roads such as Lyonsburg Road and Telegraph Road, connecting small clusters like Bliss and Eagle Center across the undulating highlands of West Hill.
