About this map

The Erie Canal bisects this region of Niagara County, crossing over Erie Canal Bridge 8 and Erie Canal Bridge 9 as it passes through the community of Gasport. This vital waterway, which defined the economic development of western New York, is flanked by several small agricultural settlements such as Reynales Basin, Orangeport, and McNalls. The landscape is largely structured by the drainage of E Br Eighteenmile Cr and Johnson Cr, which flow northward toward Lake Ontario.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documenting the area's early families, including the Johnsons Creek Baptist Cem, Hartland Central Cem, and Mabee Cem. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Royalton Airport and several named farming operations like Harris Farms, Betts Farms, and Becker Farms. The road network, including historic routes like Telegraph Rd and Slayton Settlement Rd, connects these rural crossroads and provides a detailed view of property distribution in the early 21st century.
