Vintage map of Lake Chautauqua, New York created in 1885 by the Matthews-Northrup Company of Buffalo, New York. The map shows a beautiful bird’s-eye view of Chautauqua Lake as it once was, with steamboats crossing the water, small lakefront communities along the shore, winding country roads, railroads, wooded hills, open farmland, hotels, docks, and summer places that shaped life around the lake in the late 1800s. This restored and colorized edition brings the historic view back to life while preserving the original linework, labels, and details of the 1885 map.
