2019 Map of Put-in-Bay

About this map

The Bass Islands archipelago dominates this maritime survey, showcasing the unique cultural and navigational geography of the Lake Erie borderlands. On South Bass Island, the village of Put-in-Bay serves as a central hub, distinguished by the massive Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial and multiple burial grounds including Crown Hill Cem and Maple Leaf Cem. The map illustrates the vital connectivity of the region through the Middle Bass Island Ferry routes, which link the larger landmasses to Middle Bass and North Bass Island. Smaller outcrops like Rattlesnake Island, with its private airport, and Gibraltar Island in Fishery Bay emphasize the secluded, island-based lifestyle of this Lake Erie community. The international boundary between the United States and Canada is clearly delineated to the north, positioning these islands as strategic maritime landmarks.
