2011 Map of Put-in-Bay

About this map

South Bass Island and its smaller neighbors anchor this maritime study of the Bass Islands in western Lake Erie. The village of Put-in-Bay serves as a central hub, where travelers arriving via the Port Clinton-Put-in-Bay ferry line find a landscape defined by seasonal commerce and historical memory. Significant landmarks include the Perry Memorial Monument Light on the eastern shore and the Boardwalk near Gibraltar Bar. Farther north, the map details Middle Bass Island and the more isolated Isle Saint George on North Bass Island, each maintaining its own community identity with local post offices and cemeteries such as the Middle Bass Island Cemetery and North Bass Island Cemetery. The map also captures the smaller, surrounding landforms like Rattlesnake Island, Sugar Island, and Ballast Island, which navigate the complex limestone reefs and deep waters of the archipelago.
