1954 Map of Lakewood

About this map

Chautauqua Lake dominates the northern half of this landscape, its southern shores lined with mid-century resort and residential settlements. The developed waterfront stretches from Lakewood through Celoron and into the industrial heart of Jamestown, where the Chadakoin River drains the lake to the east. The Erie Railroad corridor serves as the primary artery for these communities, following the shoreline before cutting into the urban grid of Jamestown near Persell Sch and Lincoln Jr High Sch.
