The Lake Ontario shoreline defines the northern edge of this Niagara County landscape, where the waters of Eighteenmile Creek flow through the hamlets of Burt and Olcott. This area is characterized by its agricultural corridors and small-town centers connected by historic routes like Lockport Olcott Rd and Transit Rd. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds essential for genealogical research, including Saint Charles Borromeo Cem, Lakeview Cem, and Sawyer Cem. Inland, the settlement of Newfane serves as a central hub, flanked by the Olcott-Newfane Airport and several smaller communities like Corwin and Appleton. The drainage patterns of Keg Cr, Hopkins Cr, and Golden Hill Cr illustrate the natural irrigation of the coastal plain, which has supported local orchards and farmsteads for generations.
