1905 Map of Akron
USGS Topo · Published 1926About this map
Akron and its industrial satellites emerge at a pivotal moment in Northeast Ohio's development, where the legacy of the Ohio and Erie Canal meets a complex network of turn-of-the-century rail lines. The city's grid is well-established near Summit Lake and the Glendale Cemetery, while to the south, Barberton and New Portage show the expansion of manufacturing around Chemical Pond. This survey details the transition from rural township life to an integrated industrial corridor, documenting numerous small crossroads like Ellis Corners Montrose PO and Ghent.
