About this map

Rawson Valley serves as the central corridor of this survey, connecting the small hamlets of Rawson and Hardy Corners within the rolling highlands of Western New York. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural clearings and substantial State Reforestation Areas, reflecting mid-century land conservation efforts. To the south, the waters of Cuba Lake are flanked by a Health Camp and the transportation corridor defined by the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad.

Tracing the southern edge near the railroad reveals the path of the Old Genesee Valley Canal, providing a clear look at the region's 19th-century infrastructure alongside more modern features like an Oil Well and the Hanging Bog game management area. Local centers like Bellville Ch, Abbotts, and Lyons Corners remain anchored by a dense network of rural roads such as Yankee Hollow Road and White Meetinghouse Road.
