1915 Map of North East

About this map

The coastal fruit belt and agricultural interior of Erie County are captured here just before the First World War. Lake Erie defines the northern boundary, where the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and the New York Chicago and St Louis railroads create a dense transportation corridor through North East. This transit-heavy shoreline, marked by Middle Road and Buffalo Road, contrasts with the southern uplands of Greenfield and Venango townships. These rural areas are defined by a network of one-room schoolhouses like Gospel Hill School and Delhill School, alongside small community centers such as Colts Station and Philipsville. The drainage patterns of French Creek and Eightmile Creek illustrate the divide between the lake plain and the rolling southern hills, which are dotted with family-named crossroads like Owens Corners and Bogus Corners.
