1957 Map of Fairview

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the waters of Elk Creek reach the shore at the Mouth. The mid-1950s survey captures a well-established rail corridor, with the Penn Central and Norfolk and Western lines converging at Wallace Junction and Girard Junction. These tracks facilitated the growth of industrial and residential hubs like Lake City and Girard, while the surrounding countryside remained dotted with specialized institutions such as the Divine Word Seminary and the Rice Avenue Union High School. Along the shoreline, recreational development is evident through Camp Sherwin, Camp Caledon, and the Lake Erie Community Park. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including the Fairview Cemetery and the County Infirmary Cemetery, providing a precise look at the civic and religious infrastructure of Erie County during the mid-twentieth century.
