2016 Map of North of Dunkirk

About this map

Lake Erie dominates this coastal survey, where the waters meet the northern edge of Chautauqua County. The map focuses on the shoreline infrastructure and drainage patterns just north of the city center. Along the coast, Dunkirk is represented by its waterfront and the industrial and residential grid that transitions into the rural outskirts. Local landmarks such as Saint Hyacinth's Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the area. Further inland, the Chautauqua County/Dunkirk Airport serves as a major transportation hub, situated among the small waterways of Scott Cr and Beaver Cr. This study documents the modern road network and coastal elevation at a time when the region's relationship with the Great Lakes remained central to its geography.
