About this map

Akron's eastern reaches and the suburban sprawl of Tallmadge and Cuyahoga Falls dominate this 2019 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by industrial history and water management. The urban core of East Akron gives way to the planned community of Goodyear Heights, while the southern portion of the sheet is anchored by Springfield Lake and the Akron Fulton International Airport. The infrastructure of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway snakes through the terrain, connecting legacy industrial sites like Coal Hill with the growing residential areas in Ellet and Mogadore.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, ranging from the Old Tallmadge Cem to the Edwin Shaw Sanitarium Cem and the Slovak Evangelical Cem, reflecting the diverse immigrant and institutional history of Summit County. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Mogadore Reservoir and the Tuscarawas River headwaters, marking the transition from the city's dense street grids into the lake-strewn landscape of the Portage County border.
