About this map

Jamestown serves as the primary urban center in this southern Chautauqua County landscape, where the Chadakoin River flows through the heart of the city. The map documents a dense grid of streets including Newton Ave and Blackstone Ave, alongside academic institutions like Jamestown Community College and Jamestown Business College. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a riparian network defined by Conewango Creek and Stillwater Creek, which meander through the broad valley toward Frewsburg and Kiantone.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, ranging from the large Lake View Cemetery and Mount Olivet Cemetery in the north to smaller rural grounds like Thayer Cemetery and Fentonville Cemetery near the state line. The map also records specialized land use, such as Hartson Swamp and Laska Airport, illustrating the balance between the region's industrial-residential core and its extensive wetlands and agricultural outskirts.
