2010 Map of Chautauqua

About this map

Chautauqua Lake dominates this landscape, serving as the central organizing feature for numerous lakeside communities and cultural landmarks. Along the western shore, the Chautauqua Institution stands as a focal point of settlement, flanked by residential clusters like Orchard Terrace and Wahmeda. The eastern shore transitions from the amusement and recreation grounds of Midway Park toward the established village of Bemus Point. This 2010 survey reflects a modern lakeside economy built on summer residency and tourism, yet it preserves a deeper lineage through its many family and community burial grounds, such as Lewis Cemetery and Wild Rose Cemetery. Infrastructure like the Walker Seaplane Base near Chedwel highlights the lake's continued role as a transportation and recreation corridor, while the inland areas around Stedman and West Ellery maintain a more quiet, rural character.
