About this map

Ladue Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Geauga County region, its waters contained within the Akron Water Supply Reservation Boundary. The map illustrates a transitional era for northeast Ohio, where established rural hamlets like Welshfield and Auburn Corners sit adjacent to large-scale water management projects. To the north, the village of Burton serves as a local hub, featuring its distinctive Fairgrounds and High School.

Glacial topography is evident through a series of natural basins, including Punderson Lake within Punderson State Park and smaller bodies like Kiwanis Lake and Lake Kelso. These water features, alongside the meandering Cuyahoga River, define the settlement patterns. Genealogists will find value in the placement of local landmarks such as Shadyside Cem, Lower Cem, and the Township High Sch near Newbury Center.
