1957 Map of Erie South

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the urban density of Erie transitions into the rising terrain of Chestnut Hill and the Weber Hills. The map documents a significant mid-century educational and religious infrastructure, anchored by institutions like Villa Maria College and Mercyhurst College, alongside numerous parochial schools such as St Johns Sch and St Lukes Sch. The southern half of the quadrangle reveals the rural character of Summit, Greene, and Waterford townships, where the suburban expansion of Kearsarge and Belle Valley begins to give way to agricultural land and the State Game Lands No 109. The transportation network is dominated by the Penn Central corridors and the Norfolk And Western line, which served the industrial base of the lakefront and connected the interior settlements like Langdon and Godard to the city core.
