About this map

Conewango Creek defines the eastern valley of this landscape, carving a path through the borderlands between Chautauqua County, New York, and Warren County, Pennsylvania. The map illustrates a network of small upland settlements and valley communities, including Russell, Lander, and the northern edge of North Warren. These locales are connected by a system of rural routes like Old State Rd and Market St, which follow the natural contours of the surrounding high ground.

Genealogical interest is found in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Marshtown Cem near Fairbanks Run, Foster Cem, and Pine Grove Cem in the heart of Russell. The terrain is characterized by named heights and hollows that speak to local history, including Yankee Bush Hill, Skinner Hill, and Peterson Hollow. This survey also documents the Shield Farm Airport and several small tributaries like Akeley Run and Valentine Run that feed into the primary creek system.
