Buffalo View
|
|
| The harbor of Buffalo is formed by Big Buffalo Creek, along
which for more than a mile is a continuous line of wharves. A pier extends
from the S. side of the harbor 1500 ft. into the lake, forming an effectual
barrier against the encroaching sands, which everywhere on the lake have
a tendency to accumulate on the W. side of piers. At its extremity is a
lighthouse. |
|
The Erie Canal enters the city along Niagara River, from which it is separated
by a seawall, and extends southward to near the mouth of Buffalo Creek,
and thence eastward to Hamburgh St. The Erie Basin, just N. of the mouth
of Buffalo Creek, protected lakeward by a breakwater, and the Ohio Basin,
about one and one-fourth mi. from the mouth of the creek, containing an
area of 10 acres, are both connected with the harbor and canal and are
sufficiently deep to float the largest lake vessels.
A ship canal more than a mi. in length extends along the W. side of Big
Buffalo Creek parallel to the shore of the lake. This canal, the basins,
the Erie Canal, and the harbor are all connected by numerous slips. Six
railroads terminate in the city; and another - the Buffalo & Pittsburgh
- is in process of construction.
