About this map

Point Gratiot and the historic Dunkirk Light anchor the Lake Erie shoreline, where beaches like Wright Park Beach meet the residential and institutional core of the region. The landscape transitions from the urbanized lakefront south into the hills of the Chautauqua County interior, following the winding path of Canadaway Creek. This drainage is marked by natural features like Shumla Falls and the Fredonia Reservoir, alongside agricultural operations such as Mancuso Farm and Militello Farms.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including the large Forest Hill Cemetery and Willowbrook Park Cemetery, while local historians can trace the development of smaller crossroads like Cordova, Laona, and Shumla. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-represented, from the Chautauqua County/Dunkirk Airport in the northeast to the sprawling Chautauqua County Fairgrounds near the center of the sheet.
