About this map

Dunkirk and Fredonia anchor this coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the agricultural hinterlands of Chautauqua County. The industrial and maritime character of the lakefront is defined by Dunkirk Harbor, protected by the Dunkirk Light at Point Gratiot. Inland, the landscape transitions from the campus of the State University of New York at Fredonia to the orchards and vineyards of Woodbury Fruit Farms and Mancuso Farm.

Waterways like Canadaway Creek and Crooked Brook carve through the terrain, leading toward smaller inland settlements such as Laona and Shumla. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, including Forest Hill Cemetery and Willowbrook Park Cemetery, while the presence of Nortons Switch indicates the area's historical rail connections. The topography rises toward the southeast, marked by Shumla Falls and the deep incision of Dutch Hollow.
