1894 Map of Buffalo
USGS Topo · Published 1894About this map
The industrial and maritime hub of Buffalo dominates this 1893 survey, showing a city defined by its position at the eastern terminus of Lake Erie. The riverfront is a dense network of piers and navigational aids, including the Buffalo Breakwater L. H. and Horse Shoe Reef L. H., marking the critical passage between the lake and the Niagara River. To the west, across the international boundary, the Fort Erie (Ruins) stand as a sentinel from an earlier era, while the International Bridge and the Erie Canal signify the commercial power of the late nineteenth century.
