1899 Map of Erie

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Erie dominates this 1899 survey, its dense grid of streets and waterfront infrastructure protecting Presque Isle Bay from the open waters of Lake Erie. The distinct recurved sandspit of Presque Isle serves as a natural breakwater, dotted with features like Misery Bay, Crystal Point, and the Presque Isle L.H.. Beyond the city, the landscape transitions into the rural townships of Mill Creek, Fairview, and Summit, where the economy is clearly tied to the land and the rail lines.
