About this map

The hill country of eastern Chautauqua County is defined by a network of creeks and prominent summits, including Dibble Hill, Luce Hill, and Boutwell Hill. Small settlements such as Hamlet, Charlotte Center, and Thornton are linked by a complex system of county roads and recreational paths. Of particular interest to local historians are the numerous burial grounds recorded, such as Burnham Hollow Cem, Luce Hill Cem, and Charlotte Center Cem, which mark the early centers of community life in this agricultural landscape.

Modern land use is reflected in the extensive trail systems, including the Earl Cardot Eastside Overland Trail, which winds past Arab Hill. Significant watercourses like Canadaway Creek and West Branch Conewango Creek drain the high ground, while the Spaulding Aerodrome provides a localized aviation landmark near Charlotte Center. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, from the northern hamlet of Griswold to the southern edges of Sinclairville and Bates.
