1965 Map of Orchard Park

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Buffalo Creek and Cazenovia Creek wind through this mid-century landscape of expanding residential tracts and established institutional grounds east of Buffalo. The map documents a significant era of public infrastructure, featuring the large campus of the West Seneca State School and the St John Vianney Seminary. Growth patterns follow the historical corridors of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Road, while local life centers around numerous parochial schools and community hubs like the Orchard Park Country Club and Fireman Park. From the industrial edge of Cheektowaga to the more open reaches of Elma, the map preserves a detailed view of suburban development before the full maturation of the modern interstate system, including smaller landmarks like the Buffalo Airpark and numerous Gravel Pits that supported local construction.
