About this map

Depew and Lancaster serve as central hubs in this landscape dominated by a dense network of transport and civic infrastructure during the mid-twentieth century. The area east of Buffalo is defined by a massive intersection of rail lines, including the New York Central System, Lehigh Valley, and the Erie Railroad, which helped facilitate the industrial growth of these settlements. Notable regional landmarks such as the Buffalo Municipal Airport and the County Penitentiary near Wende illustrate the expanding utility and institutional footprint of the county at this time.
