1959 Map of Kipton
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Vermilion River carves a deeply incised path through the western half of this 1959 survey, defining a landscape of agricultural plateaus broken by steep wooded ravines. This Lorain County terrain is anchored by the village of Kipton, where the Nickel Plate Road intersects the rural road grid near the Camden Cem. To the north, the modern era is signaled by the Ohio Toll Road and the Ohio Turnpike cutting across the countryside, contrasting with the many active quarries clustered around South Amherst. Educational hubs like Firelands High Sch and local aviation sites such as Ortner Airport provide a detailed look at the community infrastructure of the late 1950s. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Reformed Ch and the Harrison Cem situated near Birmingham.
