About this map

The Erie Canal serves as the structural heart of this Niagara County landscape, cutting through the city of Lockport and defining its industrial and transit history. The canal's path is marked by significant engineering and local landmarks, including the notable ravine known as The Gulf and the tracks of the Lockport Railroad. The surrounding area shows a high density of religious and municipal history, particularly evident in the cluster of burial grounds near the city center, such as Saint Patricks Cem, Glenwood Cem, and Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Cem.

Beyond the urban core, the terrain transitions into residential developments and rural crossroads. North of the city, Wrights Corners sits near the Bent-Wing Airport, while established neighborhoods like Highland Park and Carlisle Gardens indicate the mid-century outward expansion of the community. In the southern reaches, South Lockport is anchored by the Stahler Cem and the waters of Donner Brook, reflecting a settled landscape where historic family and church-affiliated sites remain preserved alongside modern infrastructure.
