1983 Map of West Lima

About this map

West Lima sits at the intersection of the Vernon Co Richland Co border, serving as a focal point in a landscape defined by high, narrow ridges and deep hollows. The settlement of Camp and the Townhall near the southern edge reflect the rural civic life of the early 1980s, while numerous quarries scattered across the hills point to the local extraction industry. The terrain is dominated by prominent landforms such as Maple Ridge and Summit Ridge, which are drained by a complex network of waterways including the Kickapoo and several branches of Bear Creek. Genealogists will find value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and local burial sites like Bear Creek Cem and Newburn Cem, which are tucked away along winding routes like Spangler Ridge Road and Basswood Road.
