About this map

Cryder Creek and Chenunda Creek carve through the Southern Tier landscape of Allegany County, defining a region of narrow valleys and high ridges like South Hill and Vorhees Hill. The settlement at Whitesville serves as a local hub, situated at the confluence of several valley roads and near Marsh Creek. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by a high density of local burial grounds such as Whitesville Rural Cem, Hillside Cem, and the Pioneer Cem.

Smaller hamlets like Hallsport, Independence, and Paynesville are connected by a network of winding routes, including NYS Route 248 and numerous family-named roads like Lynch-Casey Rd. This modern survey details the persistent agricultural and residential patterns in Fulmer Valley and Christian Hollow, where isolated farmsteads and cemeteries like Briggs Cem remain the primary landmarks of the countryside.
