About this map

The Cuyahoga River valley and the Ohio Canal corridor anchor this early 20th-century landscape, illustrating the complex transit systems that fueled the region's industrial growth. From the high elevation of Boston Ledges in the north down to the concentrated urban grid of Akron, the map captures the transition from rural townships like Hinckley and Granger to the burgeoning manufacturing centers of Barberton and Kenmore. The intricate canal infrastructure is still clearly visible, featuring labeled landmarks such as Deep Lock and Pancake Lock along the waterway.
