About this map

Angelica Creek carves through the central hills of Allegany County, providing a natural corridor for modern travel and historical settlement. The landscape is defined by significant elevations such as Peacock Hill and Bald Mtn, which overlook a network of rural roads and family-named landmarks. The map records several small communities including West Almond, Bennetts, and Scholes, each serving as focal points for the surrounding agricultural and forest land.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several burial sites, notably the Potters Field County Home Cem and the West Almond Cem. To the south, the terrain descends toward Phillips Creek, where another cluster of development and the Phillips Creek Cem are located. The presence of Palmers Pond and the headwaters of Black Creek illustrate the intricate hydrology that shaped the early economy and road placement in this part of Western New York.
