Panoramic reproduction view of the town known as Conneaut, Ohio drawn
and published by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler in 1896. Conneaut was founded
on an old Native American trail and later a trail for settlers moving
west, at the northeast corner of Ohio along Lake Erie at the mouth of
the Conneaut Creek. The city became an important transportation town
when an extension of the Erie Canal was built. Stations of the
"Underground Railroad" were rumored to have been here. In 1835 the
Conneaut Harbor Lighthouse was built on a pier overlooking the harbor.
The pier was victim to much deterioration and in the 1890's a new pier
and lighthouse were built to replace it. That lighthouse was later
replaced as well. The city prospered as a shipping port for grain,
whiskey and forestry products.
The map features an inset
illustration of "Conneaut Harbor", and has clearly labeled street names
with lively scenes of railroad, carriage and pedestrian traffic.
