About this map

Lake Erie shoreline dynamics and industrial infrastructure define this coastal portion of Monroe County. The landscape is marked by the presence of a large Power Plant at Luna Pier, alongside the natural features of the Woodtick Peninsula and Allens Cove. A complex transportation corridor is evident, with the Detroit and Toledo Shore Line, Penn Central, and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads running parallel to the coast, serving the transit needs between major Great Lakes hubs.

Community life centers around the established settlements of Erie and La Salle, where local landmarks like the St Joseph Sch, La Salle Cem, and Mason Sch provide important points of reference for genealogists. The map also captures several recreational and residential developments along the water, including Toledo Beach, Avalon Beach, and North Shores, while the southern reaches preserve the Erie State Game Area near the Michigan-Ohio border.
