About this map

Fairport Harbor sits at the vital junction where the Grand River meets Lake Erie, serving as a specialized maritime gateway along the Ohio shoreline. This mapping focuses heavily on the navigational infrastructure of the harbor entrance, detailing a complex network of safety markers including the Old Lighthouse, the East Pier Light, and several breakwater lights. The landward portion of the map is concentrated on the village's core, identifying essential community nodes such as the Fairport Harbor Post Office and the Lutheran Cemetery. Unlike many topographic sheets that document inland terrain, this survey is dominated by the open waters of the lake, emphasizing the critical role of the port's breakwaters and piers in securing the mouth of the river for commercial or recreational traffic during the early 21st century.
