About this map

The Niagara River serves as the dominant boundary on this map, separating Niagara and Erie Counties and defining the industrial and residential corridors of Niagara Falls, North Tonawanda, and Tonawanda. This waterway is dotted with significant landforms like Buckhorn Island and Cayuga Island, while the North Grand Island Bridge links the mainland to Grand Island.

Further inland, the landscape reflects a deep history of Lutheran settlement, particularly in the village of Bergholtz, which is home to the Saint James Lutheran Church Cem and Saint Paul Lutheran Church Cem. The presence of the Niagara Falls International Airport north of La Salle marks the modern utility of the region, while numerous smaller creeks like Cayuga Creek and Bergholtz Creek drain the surrounding terrain, often serving as landmarks for local cemeteries and historic crossroads like Pletchers Corners.
