1971 Map of Vevay North

About this map

The Ohio River defines the southern edge of this Switzerland County landscape, where the bustling river town of Vevay serves as a historic anchor for the surrounding uplands. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous drainages such as Indian Creek, Plum Creek, and Tapps Creek, which carve out a series of prominent ridges including Pleasant Ridge and the distinctively named Popcorn Ridge. This 1971 survey captures the area’s rural character, marked by small crossroad settlements like Mt Sterling and Jacksonville and local gathering places like Fredonia Ch and Plum Creek Ch.
