1950 Map of Tonawanda West

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda anchor this 1950 topographical study of the riverfront and industrial interior during a period of significant post-war expansion. The map details the complex hydraulic and transport systems of the Niagara River, where the Tonawanda Channel separates the mainland from the large expanse of Grand Island. Infrastructure of the era is prominent, including the Niagara Falls Municipal Airport and the overlapping corridors of the New York Central RR and Erie RR that fueled the region's manufacturing base.
