2019 Map of Brighton

About this map

Brighton serves as a central hub for this landscape on the Lorain and Huron County line, where the headwaters of the W Br Black River and E Fork Vermilion River divide the drainage basins. The settlement pattern is characterized by long-established farmsteads and rural crossroads like White Fox and the village of Rochester. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds, including the Old Brighton Cem and the Brighton Township Cem along Medina-Norwalk Rd. Aviation plays a notable role in the area's modern land use, with private airstrips such as Ross Airport and Double S Farms Airport punctuating the grid of township roads. The map also traces the northern reaches of Wellington and the path of the West Branch Black River as it winds toward the lake plains.
