About this map

Lake Erie dominates the northern horizon of this coastal survey, where the Black River meets the industrial and maritime hub of Lorain. The shoreline is heavily shaped by navigation infrastructure, including the East Breakwater Light Lorain Lighthouse and the Charles Berry Bascule Bridge which spans the river downtown. Further inland, the map captures the transition from urban centers to the residential and commercial corridors of Amherst and South Lorain.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the landscape, from Saint Josephs Cemetery in the south to Elmwood Cemetery and Salem Cemetery in the east. The terrain is marked by established agricultural and recreational spaces such as Spiegelberg Orchards and the Emerald Valley Golf Course, while established settlements like Penfield Junction and Kendeigh Corner anchor the historic crossroads of Lorain County.
