About this map

The Caney River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Chautauqua County, defining the drainage patterns of the surrounding uplands in the early 1960s. The settlement of Cloverdale serves as a local focal point, supported by nearby landmarks including the Old Cloverdale Cem and the New Cloverdale Cem. The landscape is etched by a dense network of tributaries like Turkey Creek, Squaw Creek, and Union Creek, which feed into the larger river valley.

Agricultural and social life in the rural townships of Caneyville and Jefferson is anchored by community features such as Round Mound Ch and the numerous named watercourses like Shanghai Creek and Grant Creek. This topography shows the distribution of farmsteads and the intricate system of unimproved roads and light-duty routes that connected these isolated homesteads before the further consolidation of the late 20th century.
