About this map

Randolph and East Randolph serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Cattaraugus County, situated along the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and the banks of Little Conewango Creek. The local economy of the early 1960s is evidenced by the State Fish Hatchery and numerous Gravel Pits dotting the landscape. In the southeast, the Allegany Indian Reservation begins near Bunker Hill, while the northern hills are home to small hamlets like Axeville and Napoli.

Rural life is meticulously documented through family-named landmarks and infrastructure, including the Childrens Home and the Seager Hill Sch. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south valleys carved by Elm Creek and Cold Spring Creek, with upland plateaus reached via curiously named routes such as Billion Dollar Road. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including Pigeon Valley Cem and Napoli Cem.
