About this map

Tonawanda Creek meanders along the boundary between Niagara and Erie counties, defining the central drainage of this landscape. The settlement of Wolcottsville serves as a northern focal point, historically anchored by the Trinity Lutheran Cem and Saint Michaels Lutheran Cem. To the south, the village of Akron is depicted near the confluence of local transit corridors and Murder Creek, with the nearby Akron Junction indicating the area's logistical importance.

Smaller hamlets and intersections like Swifts Mills, Hunts Corners, and Sand Hill dot the countryside, reflecting a pattern of rural development centered on crossroad economies and local waterpower. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped family and community burial sites, including the Elridge Cem and Beeman Cem, which provide geographic context for early residents of East Clarence and the surrounding townships.
