Located between Lake Erie to the North and the Alleghany Mountains to the East, Jamestown is the most populous city in the region, and nearby Chautauqua Lake provides boaters, naturalists, and fisherman recreation as one of the highest navigable lakes in North America. The Chadakoin River provided power for early mills and other small industrial factories, attracting workers and industrialists alike.
Birds eye perspectives were widely popular illustrations that served as marketing materials to feature prominent civic, geographic, and economic opportunities.

They remain a link to the significant transformations that marked the American landscape as industrialization transformed the landscape and encouraged urbanity and modernization.
In the years following the conclusion of the American Civil War, many Northern cities experienced an influx of residents from across the American South and Western Europe.
