About this map

Litchfield and the surrounding townships in Medina and Lorain counties are defined by a rhythmic landscape of agricultural fields and meandering waterways at the dawn of the 21st century. The East Branch Black River carves a sinuous path through the western portion of the region, flanked by several small airports like Meadow-aire Airport and Kruggel Airport. This period reveals a mix of enduring family farmsteads and modern energy extraction, as seen in the Preston Oil Field located in the south.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community burial grounds, including the Aldrich Cemetery, Knowles Cemetery, and the centrally located Litchfield Center Cemetery. The infrastructure of the era is anchored by local hubs like the Lagrange Post Office and Litchfield Post Office, while the agricultural character is explicitly noted by markers such as the Harris Corn Field. Local drainage and water management systems, including Kelner Ditch and King Ditch, illustrate the ongoing human engineering required to maintain the productive tillable land in this part of northern Ohio.
