About this map

Akron and its western industrial and residential corridors are captured here in the early 21st century, revealing a dense urban fabric intertwined with a complex network of glacial lakes and river systems. The transition from the high ground at Sherbondy Hill down to the water-level industrial zones is marked by landmarks like Summit Lake and the Long Lake Channel. Educational and civic life is anchored by the Univ of Akron Main Campus and the University of Akron Memorial Stadium, while the region's long memory is preserved in extensive grounds such as Glendale Cem and Greenlawn Memorial Park Cem.

Hydrological features dominate the southern and western landscape, where the Tuscarawas River and Wolf Cr flow through specialized industrial and parkland areas. The map details the northern reaches of the Ohio and Erie Canal corridor near Lake Nesmith and the preservation of natural space at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Transportation remains centered on historic thoroughfares like Wooster Rd N and the path of the Erie RR.
