2010 Map of Vickery

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the waters of Sandusky Bay meet a complex network of marshes and tributaries. The shoreline is punctuated by notable points and islands including Winous Point, Peach Island, and the aptly named Graveyard Island. This 2010 survey illustrates the deep integration of the local economy with the waterfront, from the maritime activity at Whites Landing and Bay Harbor Marina to the industrial presence of Gypsum and its Gypsum Post Office. Inland, the terrain is shaped by several waterways such as Pickerel Creek and Raccoon Creek, which feed into the extensive The Bogs. The map also captures several cultural landmarks important for local history, such as the McCreary Farm Cemetery, the Riley Grange, and the established village of Vickery, providing a clear view of the rural and residential character of the region at the start of the decade.
