About this map

Conewango Creek defines the eastern valley of this borderland region, where the state line divides Chautauqua County, New York, from Warren County, Pennsylvania. The village of Russell serves as a central hub, situated near the creek's bend and the Pine Grove Cem. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent rises and carved drainages, including Swede Hill, Skinner Hill, and Yankee Bush Hill, which suggest a history of upland farming and timbering. Small settlements like Lander and Akeley are connected by a network of rural roads such as Old State Rd and Jackson Run Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Marshtown Cem near Fairbanks Run and Foster Cem to the west. The presence of the Shield Farm Airport near Backup Corners and the northern extent of North Warren at the southern edge of the sheet illustrate the transition from rural agricultural land to more developed residential corridors along Market St.
