2019 Map of Gasport

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts a historic path across this Niagara County landscape, passing through the hamlets of Orangeport and Gasport. This 2019 survey captures the enduring agricultural and rural character of the region, where numerous family-named burial grounds like the Johnsons Creek Baptist Cem and Mabee Cem dot the landscape alongside small settlements. The drainage patterns of E Br Eighteenmile Cr and Johnson Cr define the local topography, while the Slayton Settlement Road Bridge and Gasport Road Bridge provide essential crossings over the canal. Small crossroad communities such as Reynales Basin, McNalls, and Terrys Corners maintain their identity amidst a network of country roads including Ridge Rd and Chestnut Ridge Rd. The presence of the Royalton Airport south of Gasport indicates the modern utility of this primarily rural corridor.
