2016 Map of Brocton

About this map

The Lake Erie shoreline defines the character of this Chautauqua County landscape, where the lakefront communities of Van Buren Point and Greencrest sit atop the bluffs of Van Buren Bay. Moving inland, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and residential corridors of Brocton and Portland, historically significant for their position along the transportation routes that parallel the shore. The village of Brocton serves as a central hub, with a dense grid of streets like Central Ave and Main ST connecting to the surrounding rural reaches. Local history is etched into the land at sites like Pecor Cem and the small settlement of Vineyard. Waterways such as Little Canadaway Cr and Slippery Rock Cr carve through the southern hills, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced settlement from Lamberton to Green Hills for generations.
