1969 Map of Berlin Heights

About this map

Berlin Heights serves as the focal point of this northern Ohio landscape, where the agricultural uplands transition toward the Lake Erie shoreline. The village is flanked by distinctive watercourses like Old Woman Creek and Chappel Creek, while the meandering Vermilion River carves a deep valley in the southeast corner near Wakeman. This 1969 survey, updated with 1977 aerial revisions, captures the infrastructure of the late 20th century, including the prominent Ohio Turnpike slicing through Berlin and Florence townships. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Townsend Sch and Berlin Heights Station to multiple burial grounds such as Riverside Cem and Peakes Cem. The map also records industrial and transit elements of the era, including Oil Well locations, a Sandpit, and the rail lines of the Norfolk and Western and Conrail.
