1948 Map of Buffalo NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Buffalo and its northern suburbs are captured in high detail at a moment of significant post-war expansion. This landscape is a dense matrix of residential growth and industrial rail corridors, where the New York Central RR, Erie RR, and Lehigh Valley RR converge toward the city center. Large institutional footprints anchor the area, including the sprawling University of Buffalo campus and the historic grounds of Forest Lawn Cemetery. The map reveals a community defined by its neighborhoods, from the established streets of Kenmore and Williamsville to the developing tracts of Cleveland Hill. Notable civic landmarks such as Offerman Stadium, Canisius College, and the Buffalo Zoological Garden stand alongside a vast network of neighborhood schools and cemeteries, reflecting the social and cultural infrastructure of Erie County during the late 1940s.
