Selected from the Digital Public Library of America's 21 image records catalogued for this county. Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.

The county from the air

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 773 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 41 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

April 2022Tornado (EF0)Alexander$25,000An NWS storm survey team found that a tornado initially touched down just north of the Alexander Fire Department and Recreational Hall with damage to the roof of a pavilion. A nearby building had its metal roof peeled back and a trailer, with some supporting anchor braces, was rolled over on its side. The tornado continued east-northeast snapping numerous trees in a wooded area just to the west of NYS Route 98/Alexander Road. The tornado then removed shingles and shattered windows to residences along Alexander Road then produced tree damage in a convergent pattern to the east just before crossing Tonawanda Creek. Finally, the tornado crossed a field before snapping two very large trees at the Alexander Cemetery and an adjacent commercial building. This is where the tornado damage ended.
