About this map

The Allegheny Indian Reservation dominates the central landscape of this 1922 survey, following the winding path of the river through southwestern New York. This area serves as a focal point for indigenous history, featuring the Friends Indian School near Quaker Bridge and multiple other educational sites such as Indian School No 1. The terrain is defined by significant ridges and peaks named for the Iroquois nations, including Mt Onondaga, Mt Seneca, and Mt Mohawk, which rise within the newly established Allegheny State Park.

Industrial and transport corridors are clearly etched across the valley, with the Erie RR and Pennsylvania RR providing vital connections for settlements like Steamburg, Red House, and East Randolph. A notable detail of the local economy is the Chemical Plant located near the riverbank. This map captures a community transitioning into the early twentieth century, with a high density of rural schools like Bunker Hill School and Hotchkiss Hollow School serving dispersed hamlets before the era of district consolidation.
