About this map

The northern coast of Erie County meets the waters of Lake Erie in this early twenty-first-century survey of Pennsylvania’s fruit-growing belt. The borough of North East serves as the central hub, surrounded by a landscape defined by significant water management and glacial drainage patterns. Several man-made water bodies including Howard Eaton Reservoir, Grahamville Reservoir, and Smith Reservoir dot the terrain, while the course of Sixteenmile Cr winds northward toward the lakefront. Along the shore, the lakeside communities of Orchard Beach and Freeport mark the transition from the upland agricultural zones to the water's edge.

Local landmarks such as the Carris Fruit Farm highlight the region's enduring connection to viticulture and fruit production. The map also captures several rural junctions and crossroad settlements, including Kerrs Corners and Delhill Corners, providing a precise record of the road network near the New York state line. From the deep incision of Gage Gulf to the headwaters of W Br French Cr, the survey documents the diverse topography of this coastal corridor.
