1986 Map of Silver Creek

About this map

The shoreline of Lake Erie dominates this late-twentieth-century study, illustrating the transition from the industrial waters of Ontario to the residential and agricultural communities of Western New York. The map details the complex geography where the Grand River and Cattaraugus Creek meet the lake, defining the borders of Hanover and the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. While the northern shore shows the dense infrastructure around Haldimand, the New York side is characterized by smaller settlements like Silver Creek and Farnham.
