1894 Map of Buffalo

About this map

The Niagara River and Lake Erie waterfronts define this late-19th-century study of the Buffalo region, showcasing a massive industrial and transportation hub at its Victorian peak. The dense street grid of Buffalo radiates from the harbor, where the Erie Canal meets the lake behind a series of maritime structures like the Buffalo Breakwater L.H. and Buffalo L.H.. This era is marked by an extraordinary concentration of rail infrastructure, including the Belt Line and various routes of the Lehigh Valley R.R. and West Shore R.R. converging on the city center.
