About this map

Punderson State Park anchors the center of this Geauga County landscape, a region defined by its dense network of kettle lakes and reservoirs. The village of Burton sits at the convergence of several historic roads, serving as a regional hub near the headwaters of the Cuyahoga River. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the expansive La Due Reservoir, which has significantly altered the drainage of Fire Run and surrounding tributaries.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds across the township, including Welton Cem and the Amish Cem, alongside cultural landmarks like the Kent State Univ Geauga Campus. The terrain shifts from the prominent height of Welsh Hill to the wetland margins of Lake Kelso and Fern Lake, illustrating the glacial topography of the Western Reserve. Small aviation history is represented by the presence of Bucks Airport near the Newbury border.
