About this map

Lake Erie defines the northwestern boundary of this coastal landscape, where the shoreline is punctuated by Van Buren Pt and the sheltering waters of Van Buren Bay. Moving inland, the terrain transition from the beach communities of Greencrest and Green Hills to a series of agricultural and small-town settlements. The village of Brocton sits as a central hub, surrounded by smaller locales like Vineyard and Lamberton.

Hydrology plays a significant role in the area's layout, with several waterways including Little Canadaway Creek, Slippery Rock Creek, and Corell Creek cutting through the landscape toward the lake. Local history is anchored by the Pecor Cemetery and the presence of Waterdogs Farm, which speak to the area's long-standing connection to the land. The road network, featuring routes like Chautauqua Rd and Co Touring Rte 78, illustrates how transportation follows the contours of the shoreline and the drainages.
