The Niagara River serves as the dominant geographical feature here, separating the suburban developments of Grand Island from the dense urban grid of Buffalo. On the western bank, the settlements of Grandyke Village, Ferry Village, and Oakfield are situated amidst the expansive Beaver Island State Park, where the Grand Island Range Lights once guided river traffic. The river itself is punctuated by several landmasses including Squaw Island, Strawberry Island, and Pirates Island, illustrating the complex hydrology at the entrance to Lake Erie.
