About this map

Industrial corridors and suburban expansion define this 2019 survey of the area southeast of Buffalo. The landscape is intricately partitioned by heavy rail lines including Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation, which trace the historic manufacturing heart of Lackawanna and Blasdell. Near the shore of Lake Erie, Stony Point and the Lake Approach Channel indicate the region's enduring maritime importance. Inward from the lake, several institutional campuses such as Trocaire College and Hilbert College are established among dense residential neighborhoods.

Waterways like the Buffalo River, Cazenovia Creek, and Smoke Cr wind through the terrain, bridged by structures such as the South Park Avenue Bridge and the Ridge Road Bridge. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the expansive Holy Cross Cem and the smaller Sheldon Cem near Windom. The map also details the transition into suburban communities like West Seneca and Orchard Park, where the road network transitions from the rigid city grid to the arterial flow of the Southwestern Blvd and Aurora Expy.
