THE GOWANDA LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Cattaraugus Hills setting.

Gowanda village has 1.59 square miles of land in Cattaraugus County, Erie County. Its Census reference point is in Cattaraugus Hills, within Northern Allegheny Plateau.

Rolling hills, broad valleys and low mountains are mantled by glacial deposits. Sandstone, shale and siltstone underlie a mix of open land and woodland across the northern plateau.

Regional context: Northern Allegheny Plateau ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

One place name. 2 county geographies.

Gowanda intersects 2 county geographies: Cattaraugus County, Erie County. A Gowanda mailing address alone cannot choose the right record office; use the county and parcel identifier on the tax bill or deed.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Gowanda land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Start with the right county for Gowanda

Which of Cattaraugus County, Erie County appears on the tax bill? Save that county’s parcel number along with the street or map location. A city name by itself is not sufficient for this cross-county place.

02

Read the Cattaraugus Hills setting

Cattaraugus Hills belongs to Northern Allegheny Plateau. How does the tract divide between valley ground and hillside, and where does the documented road connection enter?

03

Check the route, beyond Persia

Persia is 2.9 miles south of the Gowanda reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

Which county records apply to a Gowanda parcel?+

Gowanda intersects 2 county geographies: Cattaraugus County, Erie County. A Gowanda mailing address alone cannot choose the right record office; use the county and parcel identifier on the tax bill or deed.

Is every Gowanda property in Cattaraugus Hills?+

No. Cattaraugus Hills is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Gowanda boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Persia as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.9 miles south of Gowanda’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Gowanda?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
