2016 Map of Vevay North

About this map

Vevay sits prominently along the northern bank of the Ohio River in this modern topographic study, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition from river bottoms to the dissected uplands of Switzerland County. The terrain is marked by a series of prominent ridges, including Popcorn Ridge, Tapps Ridge, and Smith Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Tapps Ridge Rd and Fairview Rd. These topographic features highlight the traditional settlement patterns of the region, where communities such as Mount Sterling and Center Square developed atop the higher ground away from the floodplains.
