About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Erie defines this 1969 topographic portrait, where the Vermilion River carves a deep, winding path toward the lake. The city of Vermilion serves as a primary hub, featuring civic landmarks like the Marine Museum and Court House. Moving east, the landscape transitions into the lakeside communities of Elberta Beach and Vermilion-on-the-Lake, which are separated from the interior by the busy Norfolk and Western and Conrail corridors.

Inland, the township of Brownhelm retains a rural character marked by significant local history sites. Researchers can locate Brownhelm Cem and Rugby Cem, alongside early infrastructure like Brownhelm Station and Kendeigh Corner. The industrial presence is noted by a large Quarry near the Amherst corporate boundary, while the Mill Hollow Bacon Woods Park highlights the preserved natural bends of the river valley.
