About this map

The borderlands of the Niagara River are documented here in detail, showcasing the massive industrial and hydraulic engineering that surrounds the natural wonder. The sheer scale of power generation is evident through the presence of the Sir Adam Beck Powerplant and the Ontario Powerplant, which flank the falls. On the Canadian side, established neighborhoods like Stamford Centre and Drummondville sit near the historic Lundys Lane, while the American city is densely packed with civic infrastructure, including Memorial Hospital and several neighborhood schools like Beech Ave Sch.

South of the main cataracts, the landscape shifts toward the wider reaches of the Niagara River Chippawa Channel and the large, undeveloped expanse of Navy Island. The Welland River meets the Niagara near Chippawa, a junction defined by complex water management systems including the Tailings Pond and various filtration sites. This era captures the region as a fully integrated international landscape of tourism, heavy industry, and suburban growth.
