About this map

The Niagara River meets the expansive waters of Lake Ontario at this northern tip of the New York border, where the international boundary separates the United States of America from Canada. The landscape is dominated by the strategic coastal position of Youngstown, a village defined by its relationship to the water and its proximity to the historic military site marked here by Fort Niagara Beach and the Fort Niagara Cem.

Inland, the terrain is etched by a series of numbered waterways, including One Mile Creek, Two Mile Creek, and Fourmile Creek, which feed into coastal features like Two Mile Pond and Four Mile Pond. Submerged features such as the Niagara Bar and Rumsey Shoal highlight the maritime hazards at the river's mouth. Farther east, the settlement at Towers Corners and the Tower Cem represent the quiet residential and historical footprint of this Niagara County shoreline.
