About this map

Silver Creek serves as the primary coastal hub in this Chautauqua County survey, where the waters of Walnut Cr and Silver Cr meet before emptying into Lake Erie. The settlement pattern reflects a distinct shift from the inland agricultural character of Hanover Center to the lakeside seasonal communities that dot the shoreline. Further north, specialized coastal developments like Lotus Point, Wide Beach, and Millers Beach line the lakefront, while the Keene Marina at Sunset Bay highlights the area's maritime utility near the mouth of Cattaraugus Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, including Mt Carmel Cem, Glenwood Cem, and Evergreen Lawn Cem situated near the intersection of Old Hanford Rd and Hanover Rd. The landscape south of the village is marked by large-scale land use such as the Concord Nurseries Farm and a local Race Trak, showing a transition from dense village blocks to open-field industry and recreation.
