About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the shoreline of Kingsville and North Kingsville meets the industrial and transport corridors of northeastern Ohio. The landscape is a mix of recreational and utility sites, featuring Kingsville On-the-Lake and the grounds of Camp Luther and Camp Calvary alongside the Ashtabula-Conneaut Airport. Transportation history is well-represented by the parallel tracks of Conrail and the Norfolk and Western railroads, which cut through a terrain marked by small cemeteries like Lake Road Cem and East Lake Cem.

A notable shift in land use is visible south of the coast, where the meandering Conneaut Creek provides a sharp natural contrast to the grid of local roads like La Bounty Rd and Dibble Road. The map documents mid-century local culture with the inclusion of a Drive-in Theater and the County Home Water landmark, offering a look at the infrastructure that supported this lakefront community during its period of 1970s revision.
