2013 Map of Akron

About this map

Akron anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, where the winding course of Murder Cr meets a grid of residential and industrial streets. To the east, the landscape opens into a web of rural roads and watercourses, most notably the meandering Tonawanda Cr and its tributaries like Ledge Cr and Whitney Cr. The distribution of burial grounds throughout the area, such as Evergreen Lawn Cem and the Long House Cem, reflects a deeply rooted settlement pattern reaching back through generations of local families. Small rural centers like Alabama, Basom, and Indian Falls serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural lands, while the Akron Airport and proximity to Divers Lake highlight the modern mix of utility and recreation in this part of western New York.
