1961 Map of Westfield Center

About this map

Chippewa Lake serves as a central landmark for this portion of Medina County, bordered by lakeside communities including Briarwood Beach, Chippewa-on-the-Lake, and Gloria Glens Park. To the south, the landscape is defined by the intersection of major transport corridors, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads cross the rural terrain near Westfield Center and Lodi. The map documents a transition in land use, showing numerous gas wells and oil wells scattered across the townships of Lafayette and Westfield. Genealogists will find significant local landmarks such as Waltz Ch, Friendsville Cem, and the County Home. The area’s aviation history is represented by both the Lodi Airport and the Westfield Airport, while the consolidation of local education is evident at the Cloverleaf High Sch.
