  • Buffalo, New York 51
    Buffalo, New York 51 BUFFALO, NEW YORK Population Rank: U.S..... # 58 New York...... # 2 Proportions: 5:8 (official) Adopted: 7 May 1924 (official) DESIGN: The field of Buffalo’s flag is dark blue with a central image in white. In the center is the city seal, from which emanate thirteen rays (“electric flashes”) of three jagged sections each similar to the con- ventional depiction of lightning flashes. Between each pair of flashes is a five-pointed star, point outwards. The seal itself has a narrow ring around the outside edge. The seal’s field is white with blue figures. In the upper half, from the hoist, are a lighthouse on a pier, a three-masted ship under full sail (bow toward the hoist), and a small sailboat. The top of the pier and the surface of the water on which the ship and boat are sailing (Lake Erie) form the bisecting line. The waters of the lake occupy about a third of the top of the seal’s lower half. The remainder shows a shoreline, below which the old Erie Canal is seen, with a canal boat (also headed toward the hoist) being drawn by two horses or don- 52 American City Flags keys, one ahead of the other. The rear animal has a human figure riding it. The lower edge of the canal has a fence running along it, and below are shrubs, filling in the remainder of the seal. The Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo (1974) specifies the offi- cial dimensions: Said flag in dimensions shall be five (5) feet wide by eight (8) feet long, or a flag of other dimensions may be used if the width and length and the follow- ing elements are of similar proportions.

  • American City Flags, Part 1
    Akron, Ohio 1 Akron, Ohio Population Rank: U.S..... # 81 Ohio...... # 5 Proportions: 3:5 (usage) Adopted: March 1996 (official) DESIGN: Akron’s flag has a white field with the city seal in the center. The seal features an American shield, which recalls the design of the All-America City program’s shield, awarded to cities meeting the pro- gram criteria. Akron’s shield is divided roughly into thirds horizontally. At the top of the shield are two rows of five white five-pointed stars on a dark blue field. In the center section is AKRON in black on white. The lower third displays six red and five white vertical stripes. Around the shield and the white field on which it rests is a dark blue ring on which 1981-ALL-AMERICA CITY-1995 curves clockwise above, and CITY OF INVENTION curves counterclockwise below, all in white. 2 American City Flags SYMBOLISM: Akron, having twice won the distinction of “All-America City” (in 1981 and 1995), has chosen to pattern its seal to commemo- rate that award. The ten stars represent the ten wards of the city. CITY OF INVENTION refers to Akron as home to the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame at Inventure Place, a museum of inventors and inven- tions. HOW SELECTED: Prepared by the mayor and his chief of staff. DESIGNER: Mayor Don Plusquellic and his chief of staff, Joel Bailey. FORMER FLAG: Akron’s former flag also places the city seal in the center of a white field. That former logo-type seal is oval, oriented horizontally.

  • A-4 Glacial Geology of the Erie Lowland and Adjoining Allegheny Plateau, Western New York
    A-4 GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF THE ERIE LOWLAND AND ADJOINING ALLEGHENY PLATEAU, WESTERN NEW YORK PARKER E. CALKIN - Department of Geological Sciences, State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14226 GEOMORPHIC SETTING The Allegheny section of the Appalachian Plateau (Allegheny Plateau) in western New York may be divided into three physiographic areas; from the Pennsylvania border northward, these include: 1) the high and rugged, unglaciated Salamanca Re-entrant, south of the Allegheny River; 2) the glaciated southern New York Uplands with rounded summits and a network of 11 through valleys 11 and breached drainage divides (Cole, 1941; Muller, 1963); and 3) the Erie County portion north of the east-west Cattaraugus Valley. This area is furrowed by deep parallel north-trending troughs separated by broad interfluves and strongly developed to accommodate glacier flow (Donahue, 1972, Calkin and Muller, 1980). Bordering on the west and north, respectively, are the Erie and Ontario lowlands blanketed by glaciolacustrine and ice contact drift, and traversed by subdued, waterlaid end moraines. The Erie County portion of the plateau and the Lake Erie Lowland are the areas spanned by the accompanying field trip log (Fig. 1). At the close of Paleozoic sedimentation in the Appalachian geosyn­ cline (see Frontispiece I) and prior to glaciation, the area underwent epeirogenic uplift and gentle southward tilting of about 8 m km-• (40 ft 1 mi- • Initial southward consequent drainage on this surface was even­ tually reversed to a northwesterly obsequent system and episodic uplift resulted in deep entrenchment of these north-flowing rivers (Calkin and Muller, 1980). The most prom inent drainage lines headed south of the present Cattaraugus Valley and included from west to east: 1) the preglacial Allegheny, flowing westward past the Salamanca Re-entrant and northward through Gowanda to Lake Erie along the path of the present Conewango and lower Cattaraugus valley (Ellis, 1980; Frontispiece II); 2) the Connisarauley and 3) the Buttermilk rivers (LaFleur, 1979; D.
