1971 Map of Vevay North

About this map

Vevay stands prominently along the northern bank of the Ohio River in this detailed survey of south-central Switzerland County. The settlement pattern is defined by the sharp transition from the river bottomlands to the interior uplands, where narrow ridges like Popcorn Ridge and Pleasant Ridge dictated the paths of early travel routes. Small communities such as Mt Sterling, Center Square, and Jacksonville are clustered at key high-ground intersections, serving the agricultural hinterland above the river valley.
