2016 Map of Harborcreek

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern boundary of this coastal landscape, where numerous tributaries such as Twelvemile Cr, Eightmile Cr, and Sevenmile Cr cut through the terrain toward the shoreline. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of established residential pockets and educational institutions, most notably the Penn State Erie (Behrend) campus in the southwest. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds including Saint Gregory Cem and Jacob Cem, while the community of Harborcreek serves as a central hub along the arterial Buffalo Rd. The presence of the Moorhead Airpark LLC near Moorhead and the religious site at Mt Saint Benedict further illustrate the varied land use of this Erie County township during the mid-2010s, capturing a moment of contemporary suburban and institutional development near the Great Lakes.
