About this map

Inscription Rock sits on the southern shore of Kelleys Island, a central feature in this western Lake Erie landscape. The map details the island's geography from Carpenter Point to Long Point, including its interior road network and the Kelleys Island Landing Field. South across the South Passage, the Marblehead Peninsula reveals a high density of historical and cultural sites.

Genealogists and local historians can find a significant concentration of burial grounds in Marblehead and Lakeside, such as Saint Joseph Cem, Russian Cem, and the Clemons Cem. Further south, the map documents Johnson Island, noted specifically for the Confederate Stockade Cem, providing a spatial record of the area's complex history. The terrain is marked by coastal features like Bay Point and American Eagle Shoal, which define the maritime approaches to Sandusky Bay.
