2010 Map of Tonawanda West

About this map

The Niagara River splits around Grand Island and Buckhorn Island in this 2010 survey of the border region. The landscape is defined by the convergence of industrial legacy and residential growth, most notably near the Love Canal site and the neighboring Black Creek Village. To the north, the Niagara Falls International Airport dominates the upper reaches of the map, while the residential grids of North Tonawanda and Tonawanda flank the river's eastern banks. Numerous cemeteries, including Saint Johns Cemetery and White Haven Cemetery, provide valuable anchor points for genealogists tracing family histories in the communities of Bergholtz and Saint Johnsburg. The intricate waterway network, featuring Cayuga Creek and Bergholtz Creek, illustrates the complex drainage patterns that shaped the development of La Salle and the surrounding suburban townships.
