2010 Map of Reno Beach

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the marshy lowlands of the Cedar Point NWR and Maumee Bay State Park meet the residential lakefront. The transition from industrial waterway to recreational shoreline is evident in the alignment of Wards Canal near the community of Bono and the numerous inlets like Reno Side Cut that serve the local boating culture. Small clusters of cottages and homes are found at Niles Beach, Lakemont Landing, and Reno Beach, often built along a strictly gridded road system that contrasts with the irregular shapes of local ponds such as Lacourse Pond and Widgeon Pond. This environment is shaped by a complex drainage network, including the Sautter Ditch and Cedar Creek, which manage the water levels of these productive coastal wetlands.
