1923 Map of Randolph

About this map

The Allegheny River valley serves as the primary corridor for commerce and community in this 1922 survey, as both the Erie RR and Pennsylvania RR follow its winding banks. This section of Cattaraugus County is defined by the early development of Allegany State Park, where peaks like Mt Onondaga and Mt Seneca rise above a network of deep hollows. The presence of the Allegany Indian Reservation is central to the local geography, featuring several dedicated educational sites such as the Friends Indian School and Indian School No 1. Settlements like Steamburg, Napoli, and Quaker Bridge are connected by a landscape of rural schools, including Lower Elm Creek School and Seager Hill School, reflecting the era's decentralized agricultural life. The southern edge is anchored by the New York Pennsylvania Boundary Line, where the river flows past Onoville toward the border.
