1965 Map of Cambria

About this map

The Lockport Air Force Station and adjacent US Mil Res dominate the central landscape of this Niagara County interior, reflecting the military's footprint during the mid-1960s. The terrain is structured by a series of prominent east-west corridors, most notably Mountain Road and the New York Central Railroad which converges at Lockport Junction. Rural life centers on a network of family-named intersections such as Molyneaux Corners and Streeters Corners, while local heritage is anchored by sites like St Peters Ch and the North Ridge Cem. Significant natural features include the winding Twelvemile Creek Branch and Bull Creek, which drain the agricultural land between the established settlements of Cambria Center and Hickory Corners. The map reveals a transition from traditional farming to specialized land use, evidenced by scattered Sandpits and the Starpoint Central Sch campus.
