There are a number of locations that played major roles in the war that are now known under different names, or are better known by a nearby modern city.

To that end, what are the modern names of the following (or the nearby city)?

Presque Isle
Burlington Heights
York

Erie Pennsylvania?

My Uncle lives up that way and I think I remember a state park named Presque Isle.

Yep, Presque Isle (where Perry built his fleet) is just outside Erie, PA.
