About this map

Arcade serves as a primary hub where Cattaraugus Creek meets the confluence of Clear Creek, marking a landscape defined by its river valleys and surrounding heights. This 2019 survey captures the developed corridor connecting Yorkshire, Chaffee, and Delevan, reflecting a long history of settlement at the borders of Erie, Wyoming, and Cattaraugus Counties. The topography rises toward Vermont Hill in the northwest and Bixby Hill in the south, while the Arcade Tri-County Airport occupies a central plateau.

Local heritage is deeply etched into the land through numerous burial grounds like the Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery and Punkshire Cemetery. Small hamlets such as Punkshire Corners and Protection maintain their distinct identities alongside larger villages. The drainage patterns of Monkey Run and Brown Brook illustrate the intricate watershed that has shaped agriculture and transport in this part of Western New York.
