About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern reaches of this Ohio shoreline, where the community of Madison-on-the-Lake sits amidst a landscape of recreational sites and residential pockets like Redbird and Driftwood. The terrain is characterized by the parallel elevations of North Ridge and South Ridge, which historically dictated the path of regional travel and settlement. This 1990s-era documentation shows a mix of established rural infrastructure and modern amenities, including the Madison Memorial High Sch and a Drive-in Theater near Arcola Creek.

The industrial and agricultural history of Madison is evidenced by numerous extractive sites such as the Sand and Gravel Pit and Quarry. To the south, the Grand River is designated as a Grand State Wild and Scenic River, marking a transition toward more preserved natural areas. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from the Dock Road Cem near the lake to the centrally located North Madison Cem.
