About this map

The Erie Canal anchors this survey of Western New York, cutting through the city of Lockport and defining its industrial and geographic layout. This modern record details a landscape where historical infrastructure meets suburban growth in South Lockport and northern settlements like Wrights Corners. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features, including the winding course of Eighteenmile Creek and its East Branch, which flow through the undulating northern reaches of the county.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the large Glenwood Cem and Cold Spring Cem near the city center to smaller community plots such as the German Reformed Cem and Shaeffer Cem. Institutional and civic landmarks are prominently noted, including the Niagara County Courthouse and the local aviation hub at Bent-Wing Airport. Distinctive landforms like The Gulf provide further orientation within this well-established Niagara County corridor.
