About this map

The industrial and suburban expansion of eastern Akron is documented in this late 1960s study, revealing a landscape defined by manufacturing heritage and growing residential hubs. The sprawl of Goodyear Heights Metropolitan Park and the prominent Akron Municipal Airport underscore the region's mid-century development. Transportation networks, including the Akron Canton and Youngstown RR and Conrail, weave through settlements like Ellet and Mogadore, connecting local industry to the broader Ohio corridor.

Water features such as Springfield Lake and the Mogadore Reservoir serve as significant landmarks alongside institutional anchors like the Akron City Hospital School of Nursing. The map also captures several smaller communities and neighborhoods, including Sawyerwood, Lakemore, and Thomastown, while marking the transition to commercial centers like the Chapel Hill Mall. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Millheim Ch Cem and Tallmadge Memorial Park Cem.
