1959 Map of Erie
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
London and St Thomas anchor the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, which details the trans-border maritime environment of Lake Erie. The map documents a dense network of international transport, showing major rail corridors like the Penn Central and Canadian Pacific converging near the shoreline. Coastal life is centered on a string of historic harbor towns, from Port Stanley to Port Dover, while the natural topography is defined by the massive sandy formations of Long Point and Presque Isle State Park. The geography reveals a landscape shaped by both industrial transit and preservation, with Rondeau Provincial Park protecting the western marshlands while shipping lanes cut across the international boundary toward Erie.
