About this map

Catawba Island and the Marblehead Peninsula define the shoreline along this portion of Lake Erie, where the complex geography of West Harbor, Middle Harbor, and East Harbor creates a protected marine environment. The landscape is marked by long-standing coastal settlements like Lakeside and Gem Beach, which contrast with the industrial and aviation infrastructure at Gypsum and the Erie-Ottawa International Airport.

Genealogists can find several local burial sites, including Catawba Island Cem, Sackett Cem, and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem. Significant natural features such as Mouse Island and Starve Island Reef lie just offshore in the South Passage, highlighting the navigational hazards of the region. The interior is a mix of dense residential networks, like those near Perry Cove, and conservation land within E Harbor State Park.
