2019 Map of Vermilion West

About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Erie defines this landscape, where a series of small residential enclaves and summer communities cluster along the waterfront west of Vermilion. The map illustrates the linear development pattern characteristic of the Ohio lakefront, with neighborhoods like Ruggles Beach, Mitiwanga, and Beulah Beach established between the water and the primary east-west corridor of W Lake Rd. Further inland, the terrain is shaped by the drainages of Chappel Creek and Sherod Cr, which cut through the level land toward the lake. Local history is anchored by sites like Cuddleback Cem near Orchard Beach, while the road network, including Ashmont Rd and Stanley Rd, serves the agricultural and residential areas that transition away from the dense lakefront settlements of Volunteer Bay and Bluebird Beach.
