About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Ottawa County define the landscape of this Lake Erie shoreline survey, where the Portage River meets the village of Oak Harbor. The northern reaches of the map are dominated by an extensive network of marshes, including Magee Marsh, France Marsh, and Douglas Marsh, interspersed with recreation-focused paths like the Wildlife Trail and Krause Road Trail. This coastal environment gives way to the agricultural and limestone-rich interior to the south and west.

Industrial and community roots are evident in the settlements of Limestone and Rocky Ridge, while the local genealogy is preserved at sites such as Saint Joseph Cem, Limestone Cem, and Union Cem. The complex hydrology of the region is mapped through numerous waterways like Packer Creek, Toussaint Creek, and Rusha Cr, which drain toward Lake Erie near Locust Point. The map provides a clear picture of the modern road network and preserved natural areas that characterize this portion of the Ohio lakeshore.
