About this map

Sardinia sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, surrounded by a network of rural hamlets defined by family-named intersections. The map documents a community structured around these crossroads, such as Matteson Corners, Scott Corners, and Shepards Corners. These points served as localized hubs for a population centered on agriculture and forestry, particularly within the Erie County Reforestation Area. To the south, Cattaraugus Creek marks the natural boundary between Erie and Cattaraugus counties, with the small settlement of The Forks located near the confluence of Elton Creek.

Cultural and social foundations are represented by landmarks like the St Johns Ch and the uniquely named Tru-Blue Ch. Deep-seated family history is visible in the placement of the Pratham Cem and Smith Cem. Notable recreational and youth camps, including Camp Ti-Wa-Ya-Ee and Camp Seven Hills, appear in the northern reaches, while the rugged northern terrain is further distinguished by the steep incisions of Gears Gulf and the Gulf.
