About this map

Lake Erie defines the western edge of this 1980s-era planimetric study, where the shoreline is punctuated by local landmarks like Sturgeon Point Marina and Evangola State Park. The interior is shaped by the complex boundaries of the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation and the convergence of several major waterways, most notably Cattaraugus Creek and Walnut Creek.

Transport and industry are centered around the rail corridors of Conrail and the Norfolk and Western, which serve established settlements such as Silver Creek, Farnham, and Angola-on-the-Lake. The map traces the varied topography of the shoreline from Evans Point down to Hanover Bay, reflecting a landscape of small towns and rural crossroads like Smith Mills and Hanover Center during the mid-1980s.
