2016 Map of Silver Creek

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern coastline of this Chautauqua County region, where the village of Silver Creek sits at the confluence of Walnut Creek and Silver Creek. The landscape transition from the waterfront settlements of Hanford Bay and Sunset Bay to the inland agricultural character of Hanover Center reveals a diverse pattern of development along the lake shore. Numerous beach communities, including Millers Beach, Wide Beach, and Lotus Point, line the northeastern coast, reflecting a long-standing history of seasonal and year-round residential growth by the water. Inland, the map documents significant local landmarks such as Mount Carmel Cemetery and Glenwood Cemetery, alongside a notable Race Track situated just south of the main village. The network of county roads, such as County Touring Route 79 and Route 85, connects these coastal points to the rural interior.
