About this map

Cherry Creek and South Dayton anchor this landscape along the border of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, where the West Branch Conewango Creek and several tributaries flow through a broad valley. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Aldrich Hill and Pickup Hill, which overlook a network of rural roads including Mile Strip Rd and Dredge Ditch Rd. The spatial arrangement of small settlements like Leon, Balcom, and the colorfully named Skunks Corner reflects the agricultural character of this Western New York region.

Local history is preserved in the location of Highland Cem near the village and Union Cem to the east. The presence of the South Dayton Airport and the defunct rail corridors represented by Railroad Ave and Depot St in Cherry Creek point to the changing modes of transport that have shaped these communities over time. The drainage patterns of Blaisdell Cr and Mud Cr illustrate the complex hydrography of the Conewango watershed.
