About this map

Lorain and Elyria anchor this turn-of-the-century landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of early transit and natural geological ridges. The Black River carves a winding path through the center of the sheet, while the shoreline of Lake Erie features several small resort and transit stops like Beach Park and Lake Breeze. A high concentration of industrial activity is evident in the numerous Quarry labels found around North Amherst and Grafton, signaling the region's importance in sandstone and mineral extraction during this period.
