About this map

Hamburg stands as the central hub of this Erie County landscape, where the developed streets of Scranton and Carnegie meet the branching waters of Eighteenmile Creek. The geography is defined by a series of south-to-north waterways, including Hampton Brook and the South Branch Eighteenmile Creek, which carve through the terrain toward Lake Erie. These drainages influenced the placement of smaller residential clusters like Water Valley, North Boston, and Creekside.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-established burial grounds, including Prospect Lawn Cemetery and Hillcrest Cemetery, as well as the more remote Mols Hill Cemetery near East Eden. The transition from the dense street grids of the northern settlements to the more dispersed homesteads near Rice Hill and Irish Gulf illustrates the persistent divide between the suburban expansion near Buffalo and the rural character of the southern hills.
