[edit] Summary

This is a satellite image of the Niagara Falls region, acquired on September 8, 2001 by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite.

I rotated so north is directly up, and cropped it so it focuses on Grand Island.

Grand Island is at the center. Niagara Falls is at the extreme top and left. Canada is to the south and west; Erie County (NY) is east; Niagara County (NY) is north.
