2010 Map of Alexander

About this map

Tonawanda Creek and its southern tributaries define the rural geography of western Genesee County on this 2010 survey. The landscape is characterized by a network of small agricultural hamlets and crossroads, including Alexander, Darien, and East Pembroke. The drainage patterns of Murder Creek and Bowen Creek illustrate the natural hydrology that shaped the original settlement of the region. Local heritage is preserved in several prominent burial grounds, such as Hillside Cemetery and Maple Hill Cemetery, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research in these small communities. The map also records the location of smaller stops and junctions like Lehigh, Griswold, and Sawens, reflecting a pattern of habitation rooted in the area's development. This edition provides an accurate baseline of the modern road network and waterways as they existed in the early 21st century.
