About this map

The Erie Canal anchors this 1980 study of Lockport, cutting through the heart of the city and defining the industrial and civic landscape. The map captures the city at a point of modernization, where traditional centers like the Courthouse and the County Fairgrounds coexist with suburban developments such as Nottingham Estates and Carlisle Gardens. The complex hydrology of the region is evident, with Eighteenmile Creek and its East Branch winding through northern farmlands toward Wrights Corners.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the expansive Glenwood Cemetery and St Peters Cem to local institutions like Mount View Hospital and the Wyndham Lawn Home. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Conrail rail lines and various industrial sites, including multiple Gravel Pits and a Quarry near The Gulf, illustrating the extraction industries that supported the local economy. Educational sites are well-documented, featuring schools such as De Sales High Sch and North Park Jr High Sch.
