1969 Map of Berlin Heights

About this map

The Vermilion River snakes through the eastern portion of this landscape, marking a sharp contrast to the geometric farmland of the Connecticut Western Reserve. In the late 1960s, this region of Erie and Huron counties maintained its agricultural character even as the Ohio Turnpike and Toll Road introduced modern transit corridors across the center of the sheet. The map documents the intricate drainage network of Cranberry Creek, Old Woman Creek, and Chappel Creek, which influenced the placement of early settlements and family cemeteries like Peakes Cem and Cable Cem.
