2010 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Ellicott Creek and Cayuga Creek define the drainage of this suburban landscape east of Buffalo at the start of the 21st century. The map documents a dense network of residential and industrial development concentrated around the village centers of Williamsville, Depew, and Lancaster. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are clearly marked, most notably the War of 1812 Cemetery and the Transit Rural Cemetery near Bowmansville. The transit-heavy nature of the region is evident in the sprawling grounds of the Greater Buffalo International Airport and the prominent path of Interstate 90. Further east, the character shifts slightly toward local recreation and industry, shown by the Lancaster Speedway and smaller communities like Harris Hill and East Lancaster.
