About this map

The Vermilion River and its numerous tributaries, including the E Fork Vermilion River, define the landscape of this Lorain County area. Established settlements such as Kipton, Birmingham, and Henrietta are scattered across a patchwork of agricultural lands and wooded corridors. This 2016 survey documents a region where local heritage is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Andress Cem, Sanders Hill Cem, and the Henrietta Methodist Cem.

Modern infrastructure and recreational sites are layered over the traditional township grid. The presence of the Ortner Airport and the Firelands Boy Scout Lake reflect the diverse land use near the Erie and Lorain County line. Notable landmarks such as the Dean Road Bridge span the waterways, while major thoroughfares like US Rte 20 and Telegraph Rd provide the primary east-west connectivity through the rural countryside.
