1953 Map of Berea
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad corridor anchors this mid-century portrait of southwestern Greater Cleveland, where suburban expansion begins to press against established college towns and rural boundaries. Berea stands as a primary hub, centered on the campus of Baldwin-Wallace College and the surrounding institutions like Loomis Sch and St Adalbert Sch. The map records a landscape in transition, where the wooded depths of the Rocky River Reservation and the waters of Wallace Lake provide a natural buffer to the growing residential footprints of Middleburg Heights and Parma Heights. To the east, the massive complex of Crile General Hospital occupies a significant tract near Parma. Further south, the terrain becomes more dissected by waterways like Healey Creek as it crosses the Cuyahoga Co Medina Co line into Brunswick and Hinckley.
