1954 Map of Perrysburg

About this map

The Chautauqua and Cattaraugus county line bisects this landscape of upland plateaus and creek valleys, where small agricultural hamlets like Nashville and Perrysburg serve as local hubs. The northern section is dominated by the drainage of Silver Creek, including the Silver Creek Reservoir, while the southern reaches fall toward the North Branch Conewango Creek. Transportation patterns here were historically shaped by the Erie RR, which tracks through the eastern portion of the map near Markhams. This late-1970s revision, based on earlier 1950s fieldwork, reveals a traditional rural structure maintained by a network of local roads such as Alleghany Rd and Mackinaw Road, and dotted with essential community landmarks like Memorial Hospital and various numbered schoolhouses including School No 8 and School No 4.
