2016 Map of Grafton

About this map

Elyria and Grafton anchor this 2016 survey of Lorain County, where the urban street grids of the north give way to a sophisticated network of agricultural drainage and ridges. The landscape is defined by the East Branch Black River and a series of prominent glacial features, most notably Sugar Ridge and Butternut Ridge, which historically influenced road placement and settlement patterns. Local genealogists will find several burial sites including Saint Marys Cem and Ridgelawn Cem near the town centers.
