About this map

The Wyoming Valley corridor serves as the central geographic feature of this western New York landscape, where Oatka Cr carves a winding path through numerous deep ravines. These natural cuts, identified locally as gulfs, include Handyside Gulf, Dillon Gulf, and Holihan Gulf, indicating a terrain heavily influenced by glacial drainage. The village of Wyoming is the primary settlement, supported by a network of smaller hamlets such as Pearl Creek, Covington, and Saltvale.

Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds, including the Covington Center Pioneer Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Industrial history is represented by the Pioneer Salt Well near the village, a remnant of the region's salt mining heritage. Water features like Cascade Falls and the Silver Lake Inlet further define the local topography, while numerous family-named agricultural operations like Pierson Farms and Bow Hill Farms highlight the enduring rural character of this portion of Wyoming County.
