1967 Map of Akron West

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The industrial and residential expansion of Akron and Barberton is meticulously documented in this late 1960s survey, showing a landscape shaped by both water and heavy transit. The canal-era legacy is visible through a complex hydrologic network including Summit Lake, Lake Nesmith, and the Tuscarawas River Diversion Dam, while the modern era is marked by the sprawling routes of the Ohio Turnpike and several major rail corridors like the Erie-Lackawanna Penn Central.
