About this map

Akron’s eastern reaches are defined by a dense network of suburban development and industrial history, centered on the transit corridors of the Wheeling and Lake Erie RR and the Akron Fulton International Airport. This era shows the mature integration of the Little Cuyahoga River through established neighborhoods like Goodyear Heights, Ellet, and Brittain. The map reflects a landscape where early twentieth-century industry gave way to residential expansion, yet remains dotted with numerous commemorative sites, from the Old Tallmadge Cem to the Edwin Shaw Sanitarium Cem.

Water management is a central theme, with the Mogadore Reservoir and Springfield Lake anchoring the eastern and southern edges. The presence of specialized institutions, such as the Akron Institute of Herzing Univ, and various religious landmarks like the Slovak Evangelical Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cem, provides a detailed view of the community's social and educational infrastructure during this period.
