1938 Map of Reno Beach

About this map

Lake Erie and Maumee Bay define this marshy coastal stretch of Jerusalem township, where a complex network of ponds and wetlands sits behind the protective curve of Cedar Point. The landscape is a study in 1930s coastal drainage and land use, featuring an intricate labyrinth of water bodies like Carrington Pond, Wolf Creek Pond, and Secor Bay. These wetlands are bordered by the Cedar Point Club, signaling the area's importance for waterfowl and recreation during this era.
