About this map

The Erie Canal anchors this mid-century view of the region, cutting diagonally through the heart of Lockport and past the Niagara County Courthouse. This 1965 revision shows the city's mid-century expansion through planned developments like Carlisle Gardens and Nottingham Estates, while older institutional landmarks like the Wyndham Lawn Home, IOOF Home, and the County Jail remain prominent on the landscape. The terrain is defined by the sharp ravine of The Gulf and the course of Eighteenmile Creek flowing north toward Newfane.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the numerous community markers, from the St Patricks Cem & Ch in the city center to the outliers like Stahler Cem and Shaeffer Cem near the southern boundary. Industrial and transit legacy is preserved through the junctions of the New York Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads, alongside active sites like the local Quarries and the Patterson Landing Strip.
