2010 Map of West Richfield

About this map

Whipps Ledges and the dramatic geological formation at Buzzard Roost anchor the western portion of this 2010 landscape, where the headwaters of the East Branch Rocky River and Yellow Creek create a network of small lakes and ponds. This transition between Medina and Summit Counties shows a mix of preserved parklands and burgeoning residential clusters near West Richfield and Montrose. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Reed Hill Cemetery and Morris Chapel Cemetery, scattered across the rolling terrain. The presence of the Worden Heritage Homestead near Ledge Lake points to the area's agricultural roots, while the dense development around Richfield Heights and the interstate corridor reflects modern commercial expansion. Numerous small dams, such as the Kirby Lake Dam and Granger Lake Dam, reveal how local hydrology has been managed to create recreation and residential amenities like Lily Hill Lake.
