About this map

Lake Erie dominates this coastal survey, where the waters of the Great Lakes meet the northernmost edge of the Appalachian Plateau. The landscape transition is marked by the sharp shoreline where the land rises into the low bluffs of Chautauqua County. A network of local corridors, including Old Lake Rd and Middle Rd, runs parallel to the water, following the natural contours of the lakefront. This area is defined by its position on the interstate border, where the boundary between Pennsylvania and New York meets the line dividing Erie and Chautauqua counties. The map reflects a predominantly rural shoreline characterized by these historical roadway alignments and the proximity to the state line.
