2016 Map of Erie North OE W

About this map

Lake Erie dominates this coastal survey, which captures the shifting shoreline of the Presque Isle peninsula in the early 21st century. The map illustrates the narrow northern extent of Presque Isle Bay, where the land curves inward at the landmark known as Big Bend. This area represents a critical maritime interface for Pennsylvania, showing the delicate topography of the spit as it protects the harbor. The limited terrestrial features highlight the environmental focus of this particular quadrangle, emphasizing the bathymetry and shoreline geometry of the Great Lakes region rather than inland development.
