Tributaries
Buffalo Creek is a meandering stream before it becomes the Buffalo River. It originates in the south part of Erie County and the western part of Wyoming County. The Erie County sources are in the Town of Holland before flowing northward through the other towns in the county. In Wyoming County, the sources are in the Towns of Arcade, Java, and Sheldon, before flowing into Erie County. The creek flows through Elma and West Seneca, before its confluence with Cayuga Creek in West Seneca.
Cayuga Creek is the northernmost tributary in the watershed. This 40 mile long creek begins in primarily farmland/wooded areas and passes through several residential communities including Cheektowaga, Lancaster, and Depew before its confluence with Buffalo Creek.
The East Branch of Cazenovia Creek begins in Sardina and the West Branch begins in Concord. The land adjacent to these two branches is primarily agricultural and wooded areas with the exception of several small residential communities. The two branches meet near East Aurora and Cazenovia Creek then flows through the towns of Aurora, Elma, and West Seneca and the City of Buffalo until its confluence with the Buffalo River.
