1962 Map of Steamburg

About this map

The Allegheny Reservoir dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its waters filling the valley where the Allegheny River flows toward the Pennsylvania state line. This 1960s-era topography, updated in 1980, shows the complex relationship between protected lands and historical settlements. Large tracts are dedicated to the Allegany State Park and the Allegany Indian Reservation, highlighting a region shaped by conservation and indigenous heritage. To the north, the hamlet of Steamburg serves as a local hub, featuring the Steamburg Cem and the nearby Cold Spring Sch No 3. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Johnny Watt Hill and Round Top, while the Conrail line and numerous small runs, such as Hotchkiss Hollow Run and Sawmill Run, trace the natural contours of the Cattaraugus County countryside.
