About this map

The Chemung River cuts a wide path through this borderland region, where the steep hills of southern New York meet the Pennsylvania line. The village of Wellsburg serves as a focal point along the river's south bank, while the small settlement of Lowman sits opposite. This landscape is defined by its deep drainage patterns, with numerous named hollows like Elston Hollow, Hoffman Hollow, and Henyon Hollow carved into the high ridges.

Local history is preserved in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including North Chemung Cem and the Elliott-Searles Cem near Baldwin Cr. Transportation networks follow the natural topography, with routes like Wyncoop Creek Rd and Co Rd 1 winding through the valleys. The map also records prominent summits such as Shoemaker Mtn and Brown Hill, which rise sharply above the river plain and Baldwin Island.
