2019 Map of Alexander

About this map

Tonawanda Creek flows through the northern reaches of this Genesee County landscape, anchoring a network of small agricultural settlements and rural crossings. In the late 2010s, the area retained a character defined by its historic hamlets, such as Pembroke Center and East Pembroke, connected by traditional thoroughfares like Genesee St and Main Rd. The southern portion of the map centers on the village of Alexander and the community of Darien, where local genealogy is preserved in grounds like the Darien Cem. Numerous smaller drainages including Murder Creek, Bowen Cr, and Huron Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural watercourses that originally guided the placement of early homesteads and rail-adjacent stops like Lehigh and Griswold.
