2016 Map of Brighton

About this map

The Vermilion River and its branches carve through the agricultural heart of Lorain County, defining the rural character of this region. The settlement of Brighton sits at the intersection of major routes like Medina-Norwalk Rd, while the village of Rochester marks the southern reach of the survey area. This 2016 landscape is dotted with small-scale aviation sites such as Kosik Private Airport and Double S Farms Airport, reflecting a modern layer of land use atop traditional farming townships. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several burying grounds, including the Old Brighton Cem and Rochester Station Cem. The boundary between Huron Co and Lorain Co runs along the western edge, where the small community of White Fox is situated. These details, alongside the meandering paths of Charlemont Creek and the West Branch Black River, illustrate the persistent intersection of natural drainage and human settlement.
