About this map

Allegheny Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Cattaraugus County region, where the flooded valley of the Allegheny River has fundamentally altered the local geography. The map illustrates a transition from the elevated peaks like Braley Hill and High Peak to the broad waters that now cover former valley floor settlements. Remaining hubs like Steamburg, with its Steamburg Cem and local post office, serve as modern anchors for a community defined by its proximity to the water and the surrounding rugged highlands.

Smaller waterways such as Little Conewango Cr and Hotchkiss Run drain the northern hills, feeding into a network of hollows and runs. Evidence of earlier settlement patterns persists at Carr Corners and Quaker Bridge, while Halliday Island remains a distinct landmark within the reservoir itself. The road network, including W Perimeter Rd and State Line Rd, traces the perimeter of the water, reflecting how modern transportation adapts to the massive twentieth-century reservoir project.
