2023 Map of Metzger Marsh

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where a series of protected wetlands dominate the shoreline in Lucas County. The map details a complex hydrologic environment where Crane Creek flows through a network of named marshes, including Willow Point Marsh, Pintail Marsh, and Searles Marsh. These areas reflect the long-term conservation efforts typical of the western basin, providing a buffer between the open lake and the interior agricultural lands.
