2019 Map of Silver Creek

About this map

Silver Creek sits at the convergence of Walnut Cr and Silver Cr, serving as the primary hub of this Lake Erie shoreline. The landscape reflects a transition from the agricultural interior, centered around Hanover Center, to the recreational and residential clusters along the water. These coastal enclaves, including Hanford Bay, Sunset Bay, and Wide Beach, suggest a long-standing history of seasonal and permanent lakeside living. The map documents important local landmarks such as Evergreen Lawn Cem, Glenwood Cem, and Mount Carmel Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Chautauqua County. Toward the west, the coast becomes more rugged at Fletcher Point and Eagle Bay, while the interior is defined by a dense network of local roads such as Middle Rd and Old Main Rd that connect family farms to the creek valleys.
