1954 Map of Gerry

About this map

Cassadaga Creek meanders through the heart of this mid-century landscape, defining the agricultural and early industrial character of Chautauqua County. The settlement of Gerry sits at the junction of Hatch Creek and the New York Central rail line, while the northern reaches of Jamestown and Falconer push into the southern margins. This era shows a community balancing local industry with conservation, evident in the extensive State Reforestation Area and the Jamestown Municipal Airport.
