2016 Map of Dunkirk

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this Lake Erie landscape, where the port city of Dunkirk and the village of Fredonia sit atop a network of coastal creeks. The terrain rises sharply away from the lakefront beaches like Wright Park Beach and Point Gratiot Beach, following the winding course of Canadaway Creek southward toward the Fredonia Reservoir. This modern record captures the dense institutional and civic footprint of the region, including the expansive campus of SUNY at Fredonia and numerous burial grounds such as Forest Hill Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Small inland hamlets like Laona, Shumla, and Cordova are connected by a web of rural routes like Chautauqua RD and Co Touring Rte 80, reflecting a geography shaped by both the Great Lakes shoreline and the agricultural uplands of Chautauqua County.
