About this map

The fruit-growing and lakeside landscape of North East is defined by its position along the Lake Erie shoreline and the state boundary of Pennsylvania and New York. This 1996 survey illustrates a well-developed network of infrastructure, where the New York State Thruway and Conrail rail lines cut through the terrain to support regional transport. Educational and religious institutions are concentrated in the borough, including Merryhurst College, St Peters Church, and Earl C Davis School.

Southward, the land rises away from the coastal plain, giving way to the conservation areas of State Game Lands No 163 and several water management systems like Grahamville Reservoir and Howard Eaton Reservoir. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, marking family-named sites such as Phillips Cem, Grahamville Cem, and Kerrs Corners, alongside coastal landmarks like the North East Marina and Freeport Yacht Club.
