1986 Map of Canton
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The industrial heart of northeast Ohio is recorded here during the mid-1980s, centered on the urban corridor from Akron south through Canton and Massillon. The landscape reflects a dense network of manufacturing and transit, dominated by the Timken Roller Bearing Plant and Republic Steel Plant, and supported by an intricate system of railroads including the Consolidated Rail Corporation and the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway. This era shows the region’s evolution from heavy industry to a cultural and educational hub, evidenced by landmarks like the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the McKinley National Memorial.
