About this map

Sandusky Bay and the Marblehead Peninsula dominate this 2016 survey, where the Edison Bridge spans the water to connect the northern and southern shores. On the southern side, the village of Castalia is situated near the famous Blue Hole artesian spring, a unique hydrological feature that has drawn interest to this corner of Erie County for generations. The landscape transitions from the developed grid of Bay View at Martin Point to the marshy lowlands fed by Cold Cr and Little Pickerel Cr.

Evidence of the area's older infrastructure remains visible, particularly in the namesake Old Railroad Rd and the placement of Oak Lawn Cem and Castalia Cem. The map tracks the expansion of local settlements like Venice and Crystal Rock, while also noting smaller landmarks such as Mather Field and the intricate web of county roads that serve the agricultural and residential tracts between the bay and the inland plains.
