About this map

Portage River flows through the southern portion of this region, anchoring the village of Oak Harbor, while the northern edge meets the expansive waters of Lake Erie at Locust Point. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and coastal marshes, including Magee Marsh, France Marsh, and Eisenhour Marsh. These protected areas and wildlife trails dominate the shoreline topography between Big Sand Bay and Turtle Creek Bay.

Moving inland from the coast, the terrain transitions into a grid of agricultural lands and small settlements such as Rocky Ridge and Limestone. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds like Limestone Cem and Saint Joseph Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the winding paths of Toussaint River, Packer Creek, and Turtle Creek, illustrating the hydraulic relationship between the interior farmlands and the Great Lakes basin.
