1967 Map of Lacarne

About this map

Camp Perry dominates the shoreline of Lake Erie in this late-1960s survey, showing its extensive military layout including a Heliport and Landing Strip. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and transport, where the Penn Central railroad cuts through the southern townships of Salem and Erie. This coastal region is marked by significant conservation areas like the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and the Little Portage River Wildlife Area, protecting the marshy terrain near the Toussaint River. Local infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the County Fairgrounds and County Home near the Portage River. Genealogists will find value in the clearly marked rural burial grounds, including Locust Point Cem and Rusha Cem, alongside small settlements such as Lacarne and Locust Point.
