About this map

Grand Island occupies the northwestern portion of this 1950s survey, showing a landscape defined by its riparian edges and the developing Grandyle community. The southern tip of the island is dedicated to Beaver Island State Park, while the eastern shore across the Niagara River-Tonawanda Channel reveals the industrial and residential core of Tonawanda and Kenmore. The dense urban fabric of northern Buffalo is visible, characterized by a prolific network of educational institutions like State Teachers College and Lafayette High Sch.
