About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern reaches of this Erie County landscape, where the shoreline supports the established communities of Orchard Beach and Freeport. The borough of North East serves as the central hub of the region, situated along the historic corridor of W Main Rd and E Main Rd. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a series of parallel waterways, including Sixteenmile Creek, Twentymile Creek, and Twelvemile Creek, which flow northward toward the lake, carving distinct drainages into the plateau.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites such as North East Cem, Grimshaw Cem, and Northville Cem near the State Line. The interior of the quadrangle shows the importance of water management for the region, featuring the Grahamville Reservoir, Smith Reservoir, and the expansive Howard Eaton Reservoir. This 2023 survey documents the intersection of modern infrastructure with the historical settlement patterns of smaller crossroads like Kerrs Corners and Delhill Corners.
