About this map

Lancaster and Cheektowaga anchor this detailed study of the suburban landscape east of Buffalo during the mid-2010s. The region is defined by a dense network of major corridors like Walden Ave, Broadway St, and Wehrle Dr that cut through established residential neighborhoods and commercial zones. Waterways including Ellicott Creek, Scajaquada Cr, and Cayuga Creek thread through the communities, providing a natural contrast to the grid-patterned growth of Depew and Williamsville.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant markers of the past preserved amidst modern development. Notable sites include the War of 1812 Cem and Saint Michaels Cem near the western edge, along with the Transit Rural Cem centrally located near Bowmansville. The map clearly illustrates the transition from the densely settled villages of East Lancaster and Bellevue to the more open spaces surrounding Clarence Center in the north.
