About this map

The Erie Canal corridor shapes the landscape of central Niagara County, where the village of Gasport serves as a primary hub for this rural agricultural district. The waterway passes through Orangeport and Reynales Basin, following a path parallel to the southern edge of the Niagara Escarpment. This terrain is characterized by fertile lands and family-run operations such as Becker Farms, Schwab Farm, and Betts Farms, which are interconnected by a dense grid of township roads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented across the townships, including Hartland Central Cemetery, Orangeport Cemetery, and the Royalton Mount Ridge Cemetery. From the crossroads at Terrys Corners to the northern settlement of Hartland, the map traces a network of drainage fed by Johnson Creek and the East Branch Eighteenmile Creek. Other notable landmarks include the Royalton Airport and smaller community clusters at Royalton Center and Dysinger, providing a comprehensive look at the area's contemporary rural structure.
