About this map

Lake Erie and the intricate wetlands of Jerusalem Township define this coastal Ohio landscape, where marshy inlets and managed waterways shape the local geography. The shoreline is punctuated by a series of small waterfront settlements including Niles Beach, Lakemont Landing, Reno Beach, and Lakeland, many of which are situated alongside extensive pond systems like Wolf Creek Pond and Potters Pond. These areas are protected and managed via structures such as a Pumping Station and the Fish Hatchery, reflecting the area's historical reliance on water control and lake-based resources.

Further inland, the map transitions to a more structured grid of rural roads and small hamlets. The settlement of Bono sits in the southeast, near the Ward Canal, while local community life is anchored by landmarks like St Lukes Ch and the Township Sch in Yondota. Large creek systems, notably Wolf Creek and Big Cooley Creek, drain the agricultural lands of Jerusalem into Maumee Bay, illustrating the complex drainage patterns required for this low-lying lakeside territory.
