About this map

Lake Erie dominates this coastal survey, where the shoreline of Springfield and Girard meets the water at an elevation of 572 feet. The landscape is defined by the steep bluffs and ravines characteristic of the Erie County lakefront, with narrow roads like Holliday Road and Crooked Road navigating the immediate coastal shelf.

Youth recreation and lakeside living are central to this area, evidenced by the established grounds of Camp Fitch and Camp Sequoyah. Near the western edge, the settlement at Dans Beach represents the small lakefront communities that have long drawn seasonal and permanent residents to the water's edge. The placement of Townline Road serves as a clear marker for the jurisdictional boundary between the townships, illustrating the orderly division of the Pennsylvania lakefront during the late 20th century.
