About this map

Lake Erie dominates the northern horizon of this coastal Lake County survey, where the shoreline is punctuated by summer camps and residential enclaves. Inland, the community of Perry and the village of North Perry are situated along the distinct geological formation of North Ridge, a prominent elevation that dictates the local road network and drainage patterns. The landscape reflects a mix of seasonal recreation and established local infrastructure, with sites like Camp Wise and Camp Roosevelt lining the coast while the interior is defined by agricultural lanes and public institutions like the Hale Rd Sch.

Industrial activity is evident near the Grand River and the lakefront, where a Pumping Sta and various chemical facilities operate. The map also captures the path of a major Pipeline cutting through the landscape, alongside the winding course of Red Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Perry Cem, Lakeside Ch, and Perry Ch provides a precise spatial record of the township's civic and religious heart during the mid-twentieth century.
