2013 Map of Lacarne

About this map

The Lake Erie shoreline in Ottawa County defines this coastal landscape, stretching from Long Beach southeast past the small lakeside clusters of Sand Beach and Locust Point. This region serves as a critical transition between the open waters of the lake and the fertile agricultural land of the interior, drained by the Toussaint River and Portage River. Local history is anchored by long-standing community institutions such as the Ottawa County Fairgrounds and the Ottawa County Home, while the military presence at Camp Perry and the grounds of the Port Clinton Golf Course indicate the area's diverse land use for recreation and defense. Further inland, the settlement of Lacarne sits near the headwaters of Lacarpe Cr, providing a detailed look at the rural road networks like W Fritchie Rd and N Leutz Rd that connect these lakefront communities to the broader county seat at Oak Harbor.
