1943 Map of Erie

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Lake Erie shoreline developments and intensive railway networks define this 1940s landscape along the Michigan-Ohio border. Five major rail lines, including the Pere Marquette and New York Central, converge toward the southern industrial hubs, slicing through the drainage-heavy terrain of La Salle and Erie. The map reveals a transition from inland agriculture to coastal recreation and maritime activity, evidenced by Toledo Beach, Bolles Harbor, and the residential growth at Luna Pier. Local infrastructure for rural families is well-documented through a dense concentration of neighborhood landmarks such as San Freal Sch, Sharkey Sch, and La Salle Cem. At the southern edge, the Michigan state line cuts across North Maumee Bay, situating Turtle Island and Guard Island at the maritime gateway to the region.
