2019 Map of Farnham

About this map

Cattaraugus Creek carves a deep valley through the southern portion of this region, serving as the natural boundary between Erie, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus Counties. The landscape transitions from the sandy shores of Lake Erie at Lotus Bay and the wooded recreation area of Evangola State Park to the fertile agricultural plains surrounding Brant. This modern survey documents the transportation corridors that define the area, including the Erie Rd railroad and the Southwestern Blvd expressway. Smaller hamlets like Irving, Farnham, and Smith Mills are detailed alongside their local history markers, such as the Smiths Mill Cem and Rathburn Cem. Notable water bodies like Delaware Cr and Muddy Cr drain northwest toward the lake, shaping the development of lakeside communities like Lake Erie Beach.
