1957 Map of Erie South

About this map

Erie expands southward in the late 1950s, revealing a dense urban grid that gives way to the burgeoning suburbs of Kearsarge and Belle Valley. The city's social and educational infrastructure is remarkably detailed, featuring institutions like Villa Maria College, Cathedral Prep High Sch, and St Vincents Hospital. The southern half of the map transitions into the rolling terrain of Summit and Mill Creek townships, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of Walnut Creek and Le Boeuf Creek.
