2013 Map of Fairview

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern extent of this Erie County landscape, where the shoreline is dotted with summer retreats and recreational sites such as Camp Sherwin, Camp Caledon, and Great Lakes Camp. Inland, the area is anchored by the residential and commercial centers of Lake City, Girard, and Fairview. The map illustrates a dense transportation and utility corridor, highlighted by the strategic rail connections at Wallace Junction and Girard Junction. These points historically served as critical nodes for moving freight along the Great Lakes shore. Waterways like Elk Cr and Trout Run cut through the terrain toward the lake, influencing the placement of early settlements and roads like Old Lake Rd and Middle Rd. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary view of these long-established communities and their relationship to the shoreline and rail infrastructure.
