About this map

Oatka Creek carves a significant path through this section of Western New York, defining the drainage patterns and historical settlement locations of the Wyoming Valley. The village of Wyoming serves as a central point, surrounded by agricultural lands and numerous named ravines or "gulfs" such as Handyside Gulf, Dillon Gulf, and Holihan Gulf. These geological features indicate a landscape shaped by glacial activity and water erosion, providing a distinct character to the local topography between the Genesee and Wyoming county line.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including the Wyoming Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and the Covington Center Pioneer Cem. Smaller hamlets and junctions like Wrights Corner, Pearl Creek, and Lagrange reflect the distributed rural community of the early 21st century. Water bodies like Lake Le Roy and Cascade Brook further emphasize the hydrological importance of this region, while names like Saltvale hint at the area's geological and industrial heritage.
