A detailed section of a topographic map highlighting Niagara Falls, New York, and adjacent areas. The map shows La Salle, Cayuga Island, and Jayne Park, along with parts of Bergholtz and Black Creek. Roads, railways, parks, and rivers are labeled, including the Little River and Niagara River. Colored shading indicates elevation (e.g., BM 574, BM 578) and land use, with green areas denoting parks or undeveloped land. Dense red grid sections represent developed urban areas, particularly along the west and central portions.
