About this map

The Allegheny River valley forms the central axis of this 1920s survey, winding through the Allegheny Indian Reservation and the early boundaries of Alleghany State Park. The landscape is a dense network of rural school districts and small rail-oriented settlements that define the era's social geography. Key transit points like Quaker Bridge and Steamburg serve the river corridor, while the Erie and New York Central railroads provide vital connections for timber and agricultural transport.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from family-named hills like Johnny Watt Hill and Corbett Hill to a remarkable concentration of district schools, including the Friends Indian School and the Bunker Hill School. The map also captures the early development of Little Valley and the highland areas around Napoli, before modern road systems altered these traditional community footprints. The peaks of the state park, such as Blacksnake Mtn and Mt Onondaga, frame the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.
