2016 Map of Gerry

About this map

The Cassadaga Creek valley serves as a primary corridor through this portion of Chautauqua County, linking the northern settlement of Gerry with the southern industrial and residential hubs of Falconer and Jamestown. This 2016 survey captures a landscape defined by its glacial heritage, where the flat alluvial floor of the valley contrasts sharply with the dissected uplands of Harris Hill. A network of rural cemeteries, including Valley View Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Ross Mills Cem, provides a valuable resource for genealogists tracing family histories in the hamlets of Ross Mills and Levant. The terrain is further marked by modern infrastructure, such as the Chautauqua County/Jamestown Airport, and a series of specialized trails like Lung Buster and Humpty Dumpty that navigate the slopes near Gerry Hill Cem. The southern edge is dominated by the Chadakoin River and the expansive Harrison Swamp.
