The southern shoreline of Lake Erie defines this 2013 survey of the Ohio lakefront, where the city of Vermilion sits at the mouth of the Vermilion River. This coastal landscape transitions from the developed nautical character of Main Street Beach and the Jeavons Boat Yard to the residential communities of Elberta Beach and Vermilion-on-the-Lake. Inland, the map reveals a history of smaller settlements and family-named landmarks like Sunnyside and Brownhelm Station, illustrating the transition from lakefront industry to the agricultural and suburban interior of Lorain County.
