2010 Map of Buffalo SE

About this map

Lake Erie and the Buffalo Outer Harbor dominate the western edge of this suburban landscape, where the heavy industrial legacy of Lackawanna meets the expanding residential reaches of West Seneca and Orchard Park. The map documents a complex network of waterways, including Cazenovia Creek, Smoke Creek, and Buffalo Creek, which carve through the established neighborhoods of Winchester, Ebenezer, and Blasdell. Notable civic planning is evident in the circular junctions of McClellan Circle and McKinley Circle, while the region's history is preserved in numerous large memorial grounds like Holy Cross Cemetery and Saint Matthews Cemetery. The transition from the dense urban grid of south Buffalo to the more open developments of Windom and Big Tree illustrates the late twentieth-century growth patterns of the Southtowns. Shoreline features such as Stony Point and Seneca Shoal provide critical navigation context for the waterfront area near Athol Springs.
