2011 Map of Buffalo SE OE W

About this map

Lake Erie and its strategic maritime corridor dominate this survey, defining the international boundary between the Canada and the United States. The industrial and nautical character of the Buffalo waterfront is evident along the northern edge, where the Buffalo Outer Harbor serves as a critical infrastructure hub. Navigation aids such as the Buffalo Harbor Light and North End Light mark the approach to the shipping channels, which are further defined by the Seaway Piers, including Pier 1 and Pier 2. In the southeastern corner, the residential community of Mount Vernon sits along the shoreline, representing one of the few developed land areas on this largely aquatic map. The layout reflects the ongoing importance of the Great Lakes shipping routes and the transition from traditional industrial pier use toward modern harbor management.
