About this map

The Cuyahoga River and Tuscarawas River systems converge in this detailed look at the industrial and residential landscape of Summit County. The map shows the dense urban grid of Akron and Barberton, connected by a complex network of waterways and reservoirs including Summit Lake, Lake Nesmith, and the Portage Lakes. This area represents a significant geographical divide where water begins its journey toward either Lake Erie or the Ohio River, a fact reinforced by the presence of the Feeder Race River and the Tuscarawas River Diversion Dam.

Neighborhoods such as Kenmore, Firestone Park, and Maple Valley are documented alongside numerous historic burial grounds like Glendale Cemetery and Saint Vincents Cemetery. The map also captures local landmarks from the University of Akron to the Barberton Speedway, illustrating the 21st-century footprint of these established manufacturing hubs. Significant water management infrastructure is evident through features like the Wolf Creek Dam, Long Lake Dam, and North Reservoir Dam.
