1900 Map of Girard

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern shoreline of this survey, where the Southern Michigan and Chicago and New York and Lake Shore corridor parallels the coast. This late nineteenth-century landscape is shaped by the convergence of major rail lines and winding waterways, most notably the Conneaut Creek which carves through the central townships. The map documents a dense network of stations and rural hamlets, from Thornton Junction in the north down to Conneautville in the south.
