2019 Map of Akron

About this map

Tonawanda Creek meanders through this landscape at the intersection of Erie, Genesee, and Niagara counties, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal waterways. The village of Akron serves as the primary population center in the southwest, where the local street grid meets Murder Creek and the historical Maple Lawn Cem. To the northeast, the terrain transitions into the Oak Orchard Swamp, a significant natural feature that has historically influenced the settlement patterns of nearby Alabama and Basom. Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved across the townships, including the Long House Cem and the Presbyterian Church Cem. The map also details local recreation and infrastructure, from the Kanyoo Nature Trail and Mohawk Ski Trail to the Akron Airport, reflecting the area's mix of rural conservation and modern utility.
