1899 Map of Niagara

About this map

The Niagara River forms a dramatic western boundary in this late nineteenth-century survey, defining the border between the United States and Canada. From the strategic position of Fort Niagara at the mouth of Lake Ontario, the landscape transitions from the river's gorge and the Brock Monument near Lewiston into the agricultural interior of the Niagara and Erie County borderlands. The industrial heart of the region is centered on Lockport, where the Erie Canal cuts through the escarpment alongside several major rail lines including the Hudson River R. R. and the Lockport Branch.
