2016 Map of Hamlet

About this map

Charlotte Center and the surrounding high country of Chautauqua County are defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep creek valleys. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape of elevated ridges including Boutwell Hill, Arab Hill, and Luce Hill, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Co Touring Rte 77. The settlement pattern is largely concentrated around historic crossroads and cemetery sites, such as the Burnham Hollow Cem and Charlotte Center Cem, providing valuable touchstones for local genealogy. Waterways such as Canadaway Cr and Clear Cr carve through the terrain, while the presence of Spaulding Aerodrome south of Griswold marks a modern utility in this traditional upland setting. The map captures the quiet transition between the village of Sinclairville and the high, wooded hills to the northeast.
