About this map

Chautauqua Lake dominates the central landscape of this western New York survey, with its shoreline lined by established lakeside communities and recreation grounds. The western shore is anchored by the historic community of Chautauqua, featuring the Chautauqua Cem and the nearby neighborhood of Wahmeda. Moving north, Point Chautauqua and Shorelands mark the approach to Mayville Point Pleasant Lakeside Park, while the eastern shore is home to Dewittville and the amusement grounds at Midway Park.

Tracing the southern curves of the lake reveals a dense network of points and bays, including Long Point and Bemus Bay. The village of Bemus Point serves as a major geographical focal point where the lake narrows, supported by local landmarks like the Bemus Point Cem. The surrounding hillsides are dotted with smaller settlements such as Stedman and North Harmony, alongside family-named markers like Wild Rose Cem and Prendergast Cem, reflecting the area's long-standing residential and agricultural roots.
