1965 Map of Buffalo SE

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The industrial and residential expansion of Buffalo and its southern suburbs is frozen in time during the mid-1960s, showing a landscape defined by heavy rail infrastructure and lakefront development. The Buffalo Outer Harbor and Lake Erie shoreline dominate the west, where Stony Pt and the industrial works of Lackawanna meet the water. A dense network of transit, including the New York State Thruway and the Pennsylvania Railroad, carves through established neighborhoods like Woodlawn, Blasdell, and Ebenezer. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its institutions, featuring numerous parochial schools and churches such as St Stephens Sch and St Michaels Ch, alongside significant medical facilities like Mercy Hospital. To the southeast, the terrain softens into the more suburban and rural fringes of Orchard Park and Hamburg, where features like Green Lake and the Sheldon Cem reflect a different pace of life away from the city core.
