1949 Map of Alexander

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Tonawanda Creek and its tributaries define the rolling landscape of western New York in this mid-century survey, a region where agriculture and heavy rail infrastructure are deeply intertwined. The village of Alexander serves as a southern anchor, while the northern extent is marked by East Pembroke and the New York Central railroad corridor. The mapping reveals a dense network of steam-era transportation, including the Lehigh Valley, the Erie RR, and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western lines, illustrating how these routes influenced the placement of rural outposts like Sawens (North Darien Sta). For local historians, the inclusion of family-scale details such as School No 11 and Hillside Cem provides a clear view of the social fabric of Batavia and Darien townships before late-twentieth-century developments altered the rural landscape.
