1965 Map of Wolcottsville

About this map

Tonawanda Creek meanders along the border of Niagara and Erie Counties, defining a landscape of wetlands and small agricultural hamlets in the mid-1960s. The village of Wolcottsville sits at the northern edge, supported by landmarks like Trinity Ch and St Michaels Ch, while further south the terrain rises toward the Ledge near Akron. This survey captures a transitional moment for the region’s rural character, showing the intersections of early transit routes and local industry, from the New York Central Railroad corridor to active Quarry and Mine sites.
