1965 Map of Wellsville North

About this map

The Genesee River valley anchors this mid-1960s study of Allegany County, where the Erie Lackawanna railroad follows the water's edge through the village of Scio. The landscape is defined by a mix of early industry and conservation, featuring active Oil Wells and a sprawling State Reforestation Area that covers much of the high ground in Amity, Ward, and Andover. Genealogists will find notable burial sites including Fairlawn Cem and Palmer Cem near the river, while the small settlement of Withey sits to the northwest near Amity Lake. The southern portion of the map transitions into the northern reaches of Wellsville, showing the Wellsville Municipal Airport and the junction where Dyke Creek meets the river. Numerous family-named peaks, such as Buck Farm Hill and Mulligan Hill, highlight the traditional agricultural and timber tracts of the era.
