2019 Map of Castalia

About this map

Castalia serves as a focal point in this 2019 survey, situated near the headwaters of Cold Cr and the famous Blue Hole. The landscape is defined by the transition from the high ground of northern Ohio toward the marshy margins of Sandusky Bay. To the north, the Edison Bridge spans the bay to reach the Marblehead Peninsula, connecting the mainland to Danbury and Gypsum. The map details the residential expansion west of Sandusky, including the communities of Venice and Bay View along the shoreline. Researchers will find significant local history sites such as Oak Lawn Cem and Castalia Cem, alongside aviation landmarks like Mather Field. The intricate drainage patterns of Mills Cr and Little Pickerel Cr illustrate the complex hydrology of Erie and Sandusky Counties as they feed into Lake Erie.
