2010 Map of Clarence Center

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the northwestern corner of this landscape, a enduring piece of transit infrastructure that predates the modern residential expansion seen elsewhere on the sheet. The area is defined by a series of small, established hamlets including Clarence Center, Swormville, and Millersport, which serve as anchors for the surrounding rural and suburbanizing landscape. Aviation history is notably dense here, with three distinct landing facilities: the North Buffalo Suburban Airport, the Clarence Aerodrome, and Potoczak Airport. Waterways such as Tonawanda Creek and Ransom Creek meander through the terrain, influencing the layout of local roads and the placement of long-standing community sites like Saint Marys Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cemetery. The map also captures specialized agricultural operations such as Badding Brothers Farm and Szulis Greenhouse, reflecting the persistent role of local production amidst growing residential developments like Woodstream Farms.
