Lake Erie dominates this late-2010s survey, with the southern shoreline of Lorain County cutting across the bottom of the sheet. The residential and municipal development of Avon Lake and Sheffield Lake is concentrated along the waterfront, where Lake Rd and Electric Blvd serve as primary east-west arteries. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage system, including Heider Ditch and Gable Ditch, which channel water toward the lake through the Avon Basin. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Lake Shore Cem situated near the intersection of Avon Belden Rd and the shoreline. The northern majority of the map depicts the open waters of the lake, including the Lorain Valley submerged feature, illustrating the relationship between these coastal communities and the Great Lakes environment.
