About this map

North Clymer and the surrounding hamlets of Chautauqua County are defined by a landscape of high ridges and winding creek valleys. The drainage of Brokenstraw Cr and its tributaries, including Perkins Cr and Brownell Br, dictates the placement of early settlements and the local road network. Large wetland areas like Perkins Swamp near Alder Bottom Cr contrast with prominent rises such as Sweet Hill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Wait's Corners Cem and the Town Line Cem. The map detail traces the rural infrastructure connecting Clymer Center and Jaquins, showing how the terrain influenced the development of these small farming communities. From the headwaters of French Cr to the eastern flow of Goose Cr, the survey documents a classic Western New York upland environment maintained through the early twenty-first century.
