About this map

The Vermilion River carves a deep path through the landscape of northern Ohio, marking the border between Erie and Lorain counties as it flows toward Lake Erie. This survey documents a transition between the established city of Vermilion and the westward expansion of Lorain, featuring a coastline dotted with community-oriented spaces like Elberta Beach and Main Street Beach. Moving inland, the map transitions to the rural character of Brownhelm, where the presence of historic burial grounds like Brownhelm Cem and Rugby Cem provide significant touchstones for genealogical research.

Transportation corridors dominate the central portion of the quadrangle, with Brownhelm Station serving as a key point on the rail lines. Local water management is evident at the Lake Haven Estates Reservoir, while the small settlement at Kendeigh Corner defines the southeastern reaches of the map near Amherst. The dense network of local roads, such as Co Hwy 14 and Vermilion Rd, connects these residential and agricultural pockets across the varied terrain.
