About this map

Kelleys Island and the neighboring tip of the Marblehead peninsula define this maritime landscape in Lake Erie. The island is a hub of recreational and historical interest, marked by the famous Inscription Rock on its southern shore and multiple retreats like Camp Patmos and the Dominican Camp for Girls. Aviation and maritime transit are central to life here, evidenced by the Kelleys Island Landing Field and numerous ferry routes including the Marblehead-Kelley Island and Sandusky-Kelley Island crossings.

On the mainland, the towering Marblehead Lighthouse stands near the massive industrial footprint of the Marblehead Quarry. For genealogists, the area is notably dense with burial sites reflecting diverse communities, from the Confederate Cemetery on the southern tip to the Russian Cemetery, Saint Marys Byzantine Catholic Cemetery, and Woolcot Cemetery. This survey captures the specialized infrastructure of the Lake Erie islands, where marinas like Lighthouse Point Marina and Kelleys Island Seaway Marina serve as vital links for the community.
