2023 Map of Sandusky

About this map

Sandusky and its shoreline on Lake Erie dominate this modern topographic view, revealing a landscape deeply marked by its civic and maritime history. The street grid of the city center terminates at the waterfront near the Erie County Courthouse, while the M V Pelee Island Ferry route connects the mainland to the islands across Sandusky Bay. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians is the high density of burial grounds throughout the city, including the Cholera Cem, a somber reminder of past epidemics, and the Ohio Veterans Home Cem near Oakland. The map also captures the narrow peninsula of Cedar Point and the nearby Johnson Island, illustrating the complex coastal geography of the Moseley Channel area. Inland, the terrain is defined by a network of engineered drainage features like Taylor Ditch and Hemming Ditch that service the outskirts near Wilmer and Bogart.
