1900 Map of Erie
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
Erie serves as the industrial and maritime hub of this Pennsylvania lakefront during the late nineteenth century. The map reveals an intricate grid of urban development along Presque Isle Bay, protected by the natural breakwater of the peninsula where Presque Isle L.H. and Misery Bay define the shoreline. The regional economy is clearly dominated by a dense network of competing rail lines, including the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern R. R. and the P. R. R. (Philadelphia and Erie Div.), which facilitated the movement of goods from the port into the interior.
