About this map

The headwaters of the Cuyahoga River define the landscape of Geauga County in this modern topographic survey, where both the East and West Branches converge. The village of Burton sits at the center of a historical crossroads, surrounded by numerous small lakes including Lake Kelso, Kiwanis Lake, and Emerald Lake. The region maintains a distinct educational and civic character, anchored by the Kent State University Geauga Campus and many localized burying grounds such as Welton Cem, Lower Cem, and the Amish Cem.

The presence of the Akron City Reservoir and the expansive wetland networks along Bridge Creek underscore the area's role in the regional water system. Smaller settlements like South Newbury and Welshfield appear alongside family-named landmarks like Welsh Hill, while the local aviation history is marked by Bucks Airport. The map traces an intricate network of township highways and county roads that follow the glacial topography of the northeastern Ohio plateau.
