About this map

Arcade and its surrounding tri-county borders serve as a primary hub in this Western New York survey, where the boundaries of Erie, Wyoming, and Cattaraugus counties converge. The village of Yorkshire and the larger settlement of Arcade occupy the southern portion of the sheet, while smaller hamlets like Chaffee, Protection, and Dutchtown follow the corridor north toward Vermont Hill. The landscape is characterized by a significant number of established burial grounds, including the Arcade Rural Cemetery and the Saints Peter and Pauls Cemetery, reflecting the deep-rooted community history of these townships.

Waterways like Cattaraugus Creek and Clear Creek weave through the lower elevations, while Bixby Hill rises to the south. The presence of the Arcade Tri-County Airport and a network of rural roads like Genesee Road and Currier-Sardinia Road highlight the transportation links between these agricultural and residential centers. Genealogists will find the clustering of family and community cemeteries, such as the Punkshire Cemetery near Punkshire Corners, particularly valuable for tracing local ancestry.
