About this map

Lake Erie defines the character of this region, serving as a maritime crossroads where the international boundary between the United States and Canada splits the open water. The map detail highlights the unique archipelago of the Bass Islands, including the village of Put-in-Bay and the towering Perrys Nat Mon. On the Ohio mainland, the landscape transitions from the residential streets of Port Clinton to the industrial activity of Gypsum and the active quarries near Marblehead.

Transport by water and rail is evident throughout the survey, with ferry routes connecting Catawba Island to the outlying points while the Conrail and Norfolk and Western lines service the southern shore. Significant protected lands like East Harbor State Park and the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge preserve the marshy lakefront, while the Marblehead Lighthouse stands as a sentinel at the entrance to Sandusky Bay.
