1953 Map of West View

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Butternut Ridge cuts across the northern landscape of this Lorain County survey, illustrating the glacial geology of the Connecticut Western Reserve. In the mid-1950s, this region remained a patchwork of small agricultural communities and rural hubs such as Columbia Center and North Eaton, though the influence of nearby Cleveland is visible in landmarks like the Olmsted Falls Airport and Boyd Airport. The corridor is defined by its transit networks, where the New York Central and Erie Railroad intersect with rural thoroughfares like Royalton Road. Natural drainage is dominated by the West Branch Rocky River and Plum Creek, which carve through the terrain. Numerous gas wells are scattered throughout Columbia and Liverpool townships, highlighting the active local extraction industry alongside quiet homesteads and cemeteries like Myrtle Hill Cem.
