1903 Map of Akron

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Ohio and Erie Canal and the Cuyahoga River dominate the eastern corridor of this landscape, tracing a industrial and transit path through Peninsula and down into the growing city of Akron. At this turn-of-the-century moment, the region is a dense network of crossroads settlements and post offices like Ellis Corners Montrose PO and Bates Corners. To the north, the distinctive Boston Ledges and Ritchie Ledges define the terrain, while the canal's infrastructure is marked by specific landmarks such as Deep Lock and Pancake Lock.
