1967 Map of Lacarne

About this map

The coastal marshes and wetlands of Ottawa County define this landscape along Lake Erie, where the expansive Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and the Little Portage River Wildlife Area dominate the shoreline. The map illustrates a region deeply connected to the water, from the industrial and military presence at Camp Perry to the small lakeside communities of Long Beach and Sand Beach. Inland, the terrain is structured by drainage systems like Rusha Creek and Lacarpe Creek, which feed into the Toussaint River and Portage River.
