About this map

Baldwin-Wallace College and the County Fairgrounds anchor the bustling street grid of Berea, where the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads converge near the sandstone quarries. To the south and east, the landscape transitions into the suburban developments of Strongsville and North Royalton, punctuated by local landmarks like the Strongsville Air Park and numerous parochial schools including St Adalbert Sch and St Bartholomew Sch.

The rugged drainage of the East Branch Rocky River carves through the center of the sheet, preserved within the Rocky River Reservation and Royalton Reservation. This natural corridor contrasts with the heavy infrastructure of the Ohio Turnpike and Berea Freeway. Further south in Brunswick Hills, active Oil Wells and rural sites like Bennetts Corners highlight the mix of industrial and residential growth occurring at the boundary of Cuyahoga and Medina counties.
