About this map

The village of Lodi serves as the focal point of this southwestern Medina County landscape, situated at the junction of the East Fork and West Fork of the Black River. By the early 1960s, the area maintained a distinct balance between its agricultural roots and its role as a transportation corridor. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Norfolk and Western lines intersect nearby, facilitating the local economy alongside numerous Gas Well sites that dot the townships of Spencer, Chatham, Homer, and Harrisville.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Vanderhoef Cem, Marie Hall Cem, and East Homerville Ch. To the north, the Spencer Lake State Wildlife Area provides a contrast to the industrial features like the Lodi Hospital and the municipal Sewage Disposal system, showing the post-war development of public services and conservation efforts.
