2023 Map of Wellsville North

About this map

The Genesee River serves as the primary corridor through this portion of Allegany County, where the settlement of Scio sits at the confluence with Vandermark Creek and Knight Creek. This landscape is defined by its deep hollows and prominent rises, including Round Top and Oak Hill, which overlook a network of tributary streams such as Plum Bottom Creek and Phillips Creek. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed in its documentation of rural burial sites, including the Black Tucker Cem, Fairlawn Cem, and Saint Joseph's Cem. Small communities like Withey in the north and the nearby Smith Hollow to the south reflect the region's enduring rural character, while landmarks like Amity Lake and Saunders Pond highlight the local water resources that have shaped the area's development.
