About this map

Buffalo and its expanding northern suburbs appear at a moment of significant mid-century density, dominated by an intricate network of transit and community institutions. The urban landscape is anchored by massive parklands and cultural landmarks like Delaware Park, the Buffalo Zoological Garden, and the Museum of Science in Humboldt Park. A sprawling complex of major medical facilities including Sisters Hospital and Millard Fillmore Hospital serves the growing population, while the presence of both Civic Stadium and Offerman Stadium highlights the city's active social and athletic life. On the northern edge, the University of Buffalo campus stands near established neighborhoods like Kenilworth and Eggertsville. The region's history is further reflected in its extensive burial grounds, from the landscaped Forest Lawn Cemetery to the vast United Catholic Cemetery and St Stanislaus Cemetery, which together occupy significant portions of the eastern terrain alongside the tracks of the NYC RR and Erie RR.
