For those interested, here is the answer; "Where is Gage's Gulf?" Kelly Miller Kindred Roots Genealogical Society http://kindredroots.com Dear Kelly, Gage’s Gulf is the gorge surrounding Belson Creek in the Town of Ripley, NY. Belson Creek is a tributary to wentymile Creek. State Route 76 crosses the Gulf between Greenbush Road and Ripley Side Hill Road. Chautauqua County as aerial maps of the entire county on the web. Chautauquagis.com is the website. You should be able to find it on that map by finding Belson Creek just upstream from Twentymile Creek in the Town of Ripley. I hope that this is helpful.
