About this map

The Niagara River defines this corner of the borderlands, carving its way past the famous falls and through the whirlpool rapids. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the urban grid and the distinctive geological features that draw millions to the cataract. Beyond the water's edge, the map documents the resting places of the community's past at Oakwood Cem and Saint Josephs Cem.

The landscape is dotted with named overlooks and river features, from Whirlpool Point in the north down to Goat Island and the Three Sisters Islands at the brink of the falls. Transit history is visible through the Michigan Central rail line, which cuts through a dense residential network including streets like Lockport Rd and Seneca Ave. Tributaries such as Gill Cr and Big Sixmile Cr snake through the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region.
