About this map

Chautauqua Lake dominates the center of this New York landscape, serving as a focal point for the numerous lakeside communities that line its eastern and western shores. The western side is anchored by the historic Chautauqua Institution and the village of Chautauqua, surrounded by smaller residential clusters like Wahmeda and Orchard Terrace. On the opposite shore, the map details the narrow crossing at Bemus Point, where the lake constricts between Toms Point and Long Point.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted across the townships, including Dewittville Cem, Chautauqua Cem, and the Prendergast Cem located near Wing Cr. The area reflects a long-standing recreational character, evidenced by landmarks such as Midway Park, Camp Merz, and Chautauqua Heights Camping Resort. Away from the water, the terrain transitions to a rural pattern of agricultural roads and scattered settlements like West Ellery and Stedman.
