About this map

Lake Erie and Maumee Bay converge at Cedar Point, defining a marshy landscape of shifting water and early 20th-century recreational development. This area of Jerusalem township shows a intricate network of interconnected ponds and bays, including Wolf Creek Pond, Secor Bay, and Outlet Pond. The presence of the Cedar Point Club and Lakemont Golf Club alongside settlements like Reno Beach and Lakeland reflects the era's transition toward coastal leisure and seasonal residency.

Further inland, the map reveals a structured agricultural and educational network before major modernization. Local schools such as Aimesville Sch, McNutt Sch, and Cedar Point Sch are distributed along historic corridors like Corduroy Road and Jerusalem Road. The small community of Bono stands near the Canal, while the village of Yondota serves as a marker of the local rail and road economy that sustained these shoreline communities.
