1967 Map of Oak Harbor

About this map

Lake Erie marshlands and the fertile plains of Ottawa County define this landscape, where the Portage River flows through the village of Oak Harbor. This 1967 survey, revised with 1980 updates, captures a complex network of coastal wildlife management areas, including the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and Magee Marsh Wildlife Area. These protected wetlands contrast with the grid of drainage ditches and creeks like Turtle Creek and Packer Creek that support the surrounding agricultural townships.
