About this map

The Niagara River serves as the dominant geographical feature of this region, separating Niagara Co and Erie Co while framing the expansive reach of Grand Island. This mid-2010s survey reveals a dense network of suburban development and industrial infrastructure situated between the cities of Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda. The northern section is marked by the presence of the Niagara Falls International Airport and several historic religious community anchors such as Bergholtz and Saint Johnsburg, each identified by clusters of cemeteries including Saint Pauls Cem and Holy Ghost Cem.

Preservation and transit define the riverine corridor, where Buckhorn Island State Park provides a significant natural buffer at the northern tip of the island. Regional connectivity is highlighted by the North Grand Island Bridge and South Grand Island Bridge, linking the island to the mainland. Smaller residential pockets like Sandy Beach and Grandyle Village appear along the island's shores, while the mainland side shows the residential expansion of La Salle along Cayuga Creek.
