1960 Map of Harborcreek

About this map

The southern shores of Lake Erie dominate the northern landscape of this Erie County survey, where multiple creeks including Twelvemile Creek, Eightmile Creek, and Sevenmile Creek carve through the terrain toward the lake. The region's mid-century transportation and social fabric are clearly defined by the parallel tracks of the New York Central Railroad and the New York Chicago and St Louis Railroad, which support the industrial and agricultural corridors around Harborcreek. Local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Moorhead Air Park reflect the era's recreational growth alongside established institutions such as the Harborcreek School For Boys and the Mount St Benedict convent. Genealogists can identify numerous family-named roads and several burial sites, including St Gregory Cem, Jacob Cem, and Bohoslov Cem, nestled within the township's transition from shoreline settlements to the upland farms of Greenfield.
