About this map

Hamburg and its surrounding hamlets are defined by the deep incisions of the regional drainage network, most notably where Eighteenmile Creek and its South Branch carve through the plateau. The landscape transitions from the concentrated residential blocks of Scranton, Forest Glen, and Armor in the north to the more dispersed agricultural holdings around East Eden and Rice Hill.

Genealogists will find several well-defined burial grounds across the township, including Prospect Lawn Cem near Water Valley and the smaller Mois Hill Cem. The topography is marked by significant natural depressions such as Big Gulf and Franklin Gulf, which contrast with the development along major corridors like Southwestern Blvd and Gowanda State RD. The map captures a modern view of these established New York communities as they balance suburban growth with the distinct ridges and valleys of southern Erie County.
