1963 Map of Mentor

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern reaches of this Lake County landscape, where the Grand River meets the shore at the industrial and maritime hubs of Fairport Harbor and Painesville. The coastal terrain is characterized by the expansive Mentor Marsh and the Headlands Beach State Park, protected areas that contrast with the rapidly expanding postwar residential corridors of Mentor and Mentor-on-the-Lake. Inland, the map reveals an established educational and civic infrastructure, including Lake Erie College and the sprawling campus of Lakeland Community College near the Willoughby border.
