2010 Map of Silver Creek

About this map

Silver Creek sits at the heart of this Lake Erie shoreline study, where the namesake waterway meets the lake alongside Walnut Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of coastal recreation and inland agriculture, with long-established cemeteries like Evergreen Lawn Cemetery and Mount Carmel Cemetery serving as vital landmarks for local family historians. The northern coast is defined by its distinct beach communities, including Hanford Bay and Wide Beach, while the interior shows the persistent agricultural footprint of operations like Concord Nurseries Farm and the Willow Creek Winery. Further north, Cattaraugus Creek marks the boundary near Sunset Bay, illustrating the complex drainage systems that define this section of Chautauqua County. This 2010 survey documents the transition from the busy lakefront docks at Keene Marina to the quiet residential crossroads of Hanover Center and Center Corners.
