About this map

The Niagara County Fairgrounds serves as a central landmark in this 21st-century record of Niagara County's landscape, where the historic canal corridor meets an extensive network of family orchards and agricultural operations. The map documents numerous specialized farms, including the Hall Apple Farm, Fruit Ridge Farm, and Byes Strawberry Ranch, illustrating the region's enduring fruit-growing heritage.

Genealogists will find exceptional detail in the distribution of burial grounds across the area, from the large Cold Spring Cem and Glenwood Cem to smaller sites like Shaeffer Cem and Saint Bridgets Cem. The hydrology is defined by the winding course of Eighteenmile Cr and its eastern branch, while the Erie Canal Bridge 8 marks the critical waterway that historically fueled the development of South Lockport and surrounding residential enclaves like Highland Park and Carlisle Gardens.
