About this map

The Niagara River serves as the powerful focal point for this 2016 survey, defining the international boundary between New York and Canada. The map meticulously details the iconic cataract complex, including the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the massive Horseshoe Falls. This modern topographic study reveals the intricate urban grid of Niagara Falls as it extends toward the river's edge, where historical infrastructure like the Michigan Central Railway Bridge and Whirlpool Rapids Bridge connect the two nations.

Away from the immediate thunder of the falls, the map tracks the quieter landscape of southern Niagara County and northern Erie County. To the south, the river splits around Grand Island, while the western Canadian side shows the convergence of the Welland River and Lyons Creek. For those researching local history, the map precisely locates Oakwood Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, providing a recent record of these significant community landmarks.
