About this map

The East Branch Black River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Lorain and Medina Counties, defining a landscape where agriculture and small aviation hubs meet. Settled communities such as LaGrange, Belden, and Litchfield anchor the corners of this survey, connected by a network of well-established routes like Avon Belden Rd and Medina-Elyria Rd. Genealogists will find a wealth of local-history landmarks, including the Knowles Cem and Litchfield Center Cem, which provide geographic context for family lineages in this part of Ohio.

Water management is prominent across the terrain, evidenced by features such as Kelner Ditch and King Ditch that help drain the productive fields. The presence of both Lagrange Airport and Kruggel Airport indicates a specific pattern of regional accessibility, while the courses of Salt Cr and Center Cr illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have influenced property lines and township development for generations.
