1965 Map of Wellsville North

About this map

The Genesee River carves a central valley through this mid-1960s landscape, flanked by the industrial and agricultural activity of northern Allegany County. This area is defined by the heavy footprint of the Erie Lackawanna railroad, which follows the riverbank to connect the settlements of Scio and Wellsville. The uplands are marked by an extensive Oil Field network and the wide reach of the State Reforestation Area, illustrating the transition from resource extraction to managed land use. Local history is anchored by several rural burying grounds including Fairlawn Cem and Rogers Cem, alongside community landmarks like St Josephs Ch and the Central Sch. From the Wellsville Municipal Airport in the south to the small hamlet of Withey in the north, the map preserves a detailed record of the region’s mid-century transportation and energy infrastructure.
