2023 Map of Lakewood

About this map

Chautauqua Lake dominates the northern horizon of this 2023 survey, its southern shore lined with a dense corridor of settlements including Lakewood, Celoron, and Cottage Park. This area reflects the modern evolution of the Chautauqua shoreline, where the historic Chadakoin River outlet and Burtis Bay have long supported regional commerce and recreation. Inland, the terrain rises toward the community of Busti, revealing a landscape where family-named landmarks and historical burial sites are still preserved. Researchers can find numerous small cemeteries scattered across the higher ground, such as Wellman Road Cem, Hatch Cem, and Knapp Cem, providing vital geographic anchors for local genealogical work. The presence of Ridgeview Airport and the sprawling residential networks of Jamestown West highlight the area's growth beyond the urban center of Jamestown, showing how these once-distinct hamlets and farmsteads have integrated into a modern suburban fabric.
