About this map

Burton township and its surrounding Geauga County landscapes are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and the upper reaches of the Cuyahoga River. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of the region, where numerous small water bodies like Punderson Lake, Lake Kelso, and Snow Lake dot the terrain north of the significant La Due Reservoir. The mapping of several distinct cemeteries, including the Amish Cem and Slitor Cem, provides important markers for local genealogical research in this long-settled part of the Western Reserve.

Transportation and education hubs are central to the area's modern identity, from the Kent State Univ Geauga Campus to the small airfield at Bucks Airport. Small settlements such as Auburn Corners, South Newbury, and Welshfield anchor the road network, while the East Branch Cuyahoga River meanders through the eastern wetlands. The map illustrates a landscape of conservation and transition, balancing residential growth with protected natural features like Fern Lake.
