About this map

Lake Erie defines the western edge of this 1960 survey, where the shoreline of the town of Evans is marked by a dense concentration of summer camps, beaches, and residential additions. The landscape transition from the waterfront at Angola-on-the-Lake to the inland village of Angola reveals a mid-century community shaped by both recreation and heavy transit. Three major rail lines—the Pennsylvania, New York Central, and New York Chicago and St Louis—parallel the coast, cutting through a terrain dotted with local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Grandview Bay Golf Course.

Social and religious history is anchored by sites such as St Columbans Retreat House and the St Vincent de Paul Camp, while the agricultural character of the era persists near Jerusalem Corners and Evans Center. Local education is centered at Lake Shore Central High Sch and Mt Precious Blood Sch, serving a population spread between traditional village centers and new lakeside developments like the Angola Lake Shore Addition.
