2010 Map of Vevay North

About this map

The Ohio River forms the southern boundary of this portion of Switzerland County, where the town of Vevay is situated near the northern bank across from Vevay Island. The interior landscape is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Popcorn Ridge, Tapps Ridge, and Drakes Ridge, which separate the various creek valleys. Numerous small settlements like Mount Sterling, Center Square, and Jacksonville are connected by a network of winding roads such as Tapps Ridge Rd and Popcorn Ridge Rd. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, with small private lakes like Edwin Pray Lake and Lake Geneva providing water storage in the upland terrain. Genealogists may find interest in local burial sites such as Stow Cemetery near the eastern boundary and Blanton Cemetery located just east of the main town site along the river corridor.
