USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Akron serves as the industrial and commercial anchor of this early twentieth-century landscape, where the confluence of rail and water transport defined regional growth. The Ohio and Erie Canal runs parallel to the Cuyahoga River, marked by engineering features like Deep Lock and Pancake Lock near the settlement of Peninsula. This waterway, once a primary artery for trade, appears here alongside a maturing rail network including the Erie Railroad and the Akron and Barberton Belt Line, illustrating the era's shift toward steam power.
