About this map

Catawba Island and the western edge of the Marblehead Peninsula define this coastal landscape along the shores of Lake Erie. The area is characterized by a dense network of maritime infrastructure and recreational settlements, with numerous marinas such as Treasure Cove Marina, Winkes Marina, and Limpert Marina dotting the inlets. The interior of the island reveals a long-standing agricultural and community legacy, anchored by Bergman Orchards and the Catawba Island Post Office.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the cluster of small burial grounds, including the K'burg Cemetery and Dewelle Cemetery. The shoreline is heavily shaped by natural hazards and navigation points, from the submerged West Harbor Reef to the prominent Moore Point. The transition from the established community at Lakeside to the protected wetlands of East Harbor State Park illustrates the dual nature of the region as both a vacation destination and a preserved coastal environment.
