2013 Map of Ripley

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this Chautauqua County landscape, where the shoreline alternates between the open sands of Ripley Beach and the developed communities of Shore Haven and McIntosh Farms. This region in the early 21st century remains anchored by the settlement of Ripley, where the local Po and Quincy Rural Cem serve as historical and community anchors. The map illustrates a dense network of local roads and thoroughfares like Old Route 20 that run parallel to the lake, connecting smaller hamlets such as East Ripley and Forsyth. Further inland, the terrain transitions to more agricultural and rural uses near Lombard, with Belson Cr cutting through the southern reaches. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of burial grounds like the E Ripley Cem, situated just off the main transit corridors that have shaped the development of this lakeside district.
