About this map

Westfield sits at a critical geographic junction where the steep escapements of the Chautauqua Ridge meet the plains of the Lake Erie shoreline. This landscape is defined by the deep incision of Chautauqua Creek and its many tributaries, such as Bournes Cr and Doty Cr, which carve through the terrain as they descend toward the lake. The village layout follows a historic radial pattern, with Main St and N Portage St serving as primary arteries connecting the lakeside community of Barcelona to the upland interior.

Further south, the terrain climbs toward Mt Baldy and the heights overlooking Mayville, the county seat. The presence of the Chautauqua County Courthouse in the southeast corner and several significant burial grounds, including Westfield Cem and Old Saint James Cem, provides essential points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The map also details early water infrastructure with the Kent Reservoir and Minton Reservoir tucked into the hills above the main settlements.
