About this map

Tonawanda Creek meanders across this rural landscape, carving a complex path through the lowlands between Wolcottsville and Akron. The area is characterized by a network of small, established hamlets and agricultural crossroads including Swifts Mills, Sand Hill, and Hunts Corners. In the southern portion of the sheet, the industrial and transport history of the region is evident near Akron Junction and the outskirts of East Clarence.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the Elridge Cemetery and Beeman Cemetery, alongside specialized institutions like the Saint Ignatius Retreat Home. The map captures the interface between the natural waterways of Mud Creek and Murder Creek and the human-engineered infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the Merkle Airport. The road grid, including Clarence Center Rd and Rapios Rd, reveals the enduring rural-to-suburban settlement patterns of Erie County.
