2019 Map of Sherman

About this map

Sherman serves as the primary hub in this corner of Chautauqua County, situated where French Cr winds through the village center. The map documents a landscape defined by the transition from agricultural valley bottoms to the more elevated ridges of the Southern Tier. Long-distance hiking is represented by the extensive Fred J. Cusimano Westside Overland Trail, which traverses the hills between Summerdale and Mayville. Cultural markers like Porter Cem and Sherman Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogical research, while small crossroads like Stebbins Corners and Slab City reflect the persistent local geography of western New York. The drainage network is particularly prominent, showing how Chautauqua Creek and Prendergast Cr carve into the upland plateaus.
