1967 Map of Edinboro North

About this map

Edinboro Lake and its northern shoreline anchor the southern edge of this Erie County landscape, where the town of Edinboro begins to expand toward the surrounding agricultural plateaus. The 1967 survey, with updates from 1975, reveals a network of rural crossroads including Franklin Center, Mishler Corners, and Eureka Corners. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage of Elk Creek and its many tributaries, such as Falk Run and Goodban Run, which create the elevation changes at Howard Falls. The map documents a period of significant transition in transportation as Interstate 79 carves through the central portion of the quadrangle, including Interchange 166 and Interchange 174. These modern transit routes exist alongside older landmarks like the Porter Cem and the Franklin Center Airport, illustrating the evolution from a remote farming region to a more accessible corridor between the lake and the interior.
