1969 Map of Kelleys Island

About this map

Kelleys Island and the Marblehead peninsula define this coastal landscape at the edge of the Erie and Ottawa County line. The map highlights a region transitioning between recreational use and heavy industry, where the sprawling Marblehead Quarry and extensive tailings piles sit alongside lakefront communities like Lakeside and Mineyahta on-the-Bay. On the island itself, the presence of the Glacial Grooves State Memorial and Inscription Rock point to a long history of geological and indigenous significance.
