About this map

The Vermilion River and its E Fork carve through the north-central Ohio landscape on this survey of the tri-county border where Erie, Lorain, and Huron counties meet. The settlement of Birmingham sits near the river's bend, while the village of Kipton anchors the southern portion of the map along Oh-511. For those researching local families, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with burial sites, including Gore Cem, Harrison Cem, and the Henrietta Methodist Cem.

Agricultural history is evident in the cluster of fruit-growing operations like Miller Orchards, McDowell Orchards, and Hillcrest Orchards in the northern hills. Civil engineering and recreational sites are also well-documented, from the crossing at Dean Road Bridge to the public grounds of the Schoepfle Arboretum and Camp Timberline. The presence of the Wakeman Airport and Kipton Reservoir further illustrates the varied land use in this rural corridor between larger lakefront and inland centers.
