2019 Map of Cambria

About this map

The Niagara County escarpment shapes the geography of this Western New York landscape, where the elevation drops from Upper Mountain Rd toward the orchard and farm lands of the north. Small agricultural hamlets such as North Ridge, Cambria Center, and Molyneaux Corners sit along historic transit corridors like Ridge Rd. The area is notably dense with small family and parish burial grounds, including the Hillside Cem of Cambria and the Weaver Cem Number 1, which speak to the long-established lineage of local farming families. Transport remains central to the region's identity, evidenced by the rail crossing at Lockport Junction and the small-scale aviation at Hibbard's Airport. In the south, the headwaters of Bergholtz Cr and Bull Cr meander through the flats near Shawnee, providing drainage for the fertile plains below the limestone ridge.
