2023 Map of Portageville

About this map

The Genesee River carves a deep path through this landscape, marked by the dramatic descent of Upper Falls, Middle Falls, and Lower Falls. This modern record of the terrain at the tri-county junction of Wyoming, Livingston, and Allegany Counties highlights a settlement pattern defined by waterpower and high-plateau agriculture. Portageville sits at the heart of this riverine geography, while the outlying hamlets of Lamont, East Koy, and Wiscoy remain connected by a network of rural roads such as Griffith Rd and Pennycook Rd. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its documentation of local burial grounds, including the Portageville Pioneer Cem, Assumption Cem, and Pennycook Cem. The course of East Koy Creek and Wolf Creek further underscores the drainage patterns that have shaped the development of these small Western New York communities.
