1969 Map of Berlin Heights

About this map

Berlin Heights and Wakeman anchor this late-1960s survey of the north Ohio landscape where the agriculture of the Firelands meets the industrial transport corridors of the Ohio Turnpike and several major railroads. The winding Vermilion River carves a deep valley in the southeast corner near Wakeman, while smaller watercourses like Old Woman Creek and Chappel Creek drain northward toward Lake Erie. This era shows the region in transition, where established rail lines like the Norfolk and Western and Penn Central still serve rural hubs such as Berlin Heights Station and Collins.
