Buffalo
Buffalo is characterized by its relatively flat terrain, predominantly lying on the Erie/Ontario Lake Plain, which forms part of the Eastern Great Lakes Lowlands. The city's elevation averages around 607 feet above sea level, with minor variations, particularly in neighborhoods like University Heights, which exhibit slight inclines. While much of the urban landscape is level, the surrounding regions, such as the Southtowns, feature rolling hills and valleys, adding some topographical diversity to the otherwise flat landscape near Lake Erie and the Niagara River.
