2010 Map of Peru

About this map

Peru and Niotaze anchor this landscape in southeastern Chautauqua County, where the low elevations of the Chautauqua Hills meet a dense network of prairie waterways. The drainage pattern is dominated by the Middle Caney Creek, Little Caney River, and several smaller tributaries like Birch Creek and Thunderbolt Creek that feed toward the Hulah Reservoir just across the southern boundary. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued importance of the energy industry to the local economy, evidenced by the Niotaze Oil Field located south of the town site.
