The Erie Canal cuts across the northern landscape, anchoring a string of commercial hubs including Middleport, Shelby Basin, and the village of Medina. This late nineteenth-century survey shows a region defined by its water infrastructure, where the Feeder Canal draws southward into the expansive Oak Orchard Swamp. To the south, the Tonawanda Indian Reservation spans the border of Genesee and Erie counties, with Tonawanda Creek winding through the terrain near the settlement of Indian Falls.
