About this map

The Genesee River cuts a prominent valley through this section of Allegany County, anchoring the settlements of Scio and the northern edge of Wellsville. This landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high points like Oak Hill and Bliven Hill, where numerous small tributaries such as Vandermark Creek and Knight Cr have carved the terrain. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from Saunders Pond in the north to the winding course of Brimmer Brook in the south.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records preserved here, including Fairlawn Cem, Saint Joseph's Cem, and the more remote Black Tucker Cem on the eastern hills. The transition from the river bottom lands to the high ridges of Duffy Hollow illustrates the historical development of transport routes like Vandermark Rd and Reddy Rd that connect these upland farms to the river valley communities.
