About this map

Lake Erie defines the eastern edge of this Michigan landscape, where the Woodtick Peninsula shelters the shallow waters of North Maumee Bay. The coastline is dotted with established residential and recreational clusters including Luna Pier, Bolles Harbor, and Avalon Beach. Inland, the terrain is shaped by a dense network of agricultural and connector roads like S Telegraph Rd and Erie Rd, serving the settlements of La Salle, Erie, and Vienna.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites, such as the Saint Joseph Bay Settlement Cem and La Salle Township Cem. The map illustrates the complex drainage of the low-lying coastal plain, featuring named watercourses like Muddy Creek and Potter Drain. The southern boundary reveals the interstate line between Monroe County, Michigan and Lucas County, Ohio, providing a clear view of the state border near Turtle Island.
