About this map

Cattaraugus Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining a complex riparian corridor as it approaches its mouth at Lake Erie. The settlement of Irving sits at a critical junction where several major thoroughfares, including the NYS Thruway and Buffalo Rd, converge near the creek. Along the shoreline, the residential patterns of Angola Lake Shore Addition and Lake Erie Beach contrast with the open areas of Camp Forty Acres at Farnham Point.

Inland, the town of Brant and the village of Farnham serve as community hubs connected by a grid of rural roads like Milestrip Rd. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller burial sites such as Rathburn Cemetery, Smith Mills Cemetery, and the Holy Cross Lutheran Cemetery. The presence of Steiger Farms and various creek branches like Muddy Creek and Delaware Creek illustrates the enduring agricultural and hydraulic character of this Erie County coastal region.
