1994 Map of Canton West

About this map

Canton and North Canton dominate this mid-1990s landscape, reflecting decades of suburban expansion and urban density. The map illustrates a dense network of neighborhoods including Edgefield, Avondale, and Reedurban, alongside established industrial and institutional landmarks. Higher education and local history are well-represented by the Kent State University campus, Malone College, and the Historical Society near McKinley Memorial Park. The region's topography is punctuated by significant water features such as Meyers Lake and Lake Cable, which served as anchors for residential development. To the west, the Massillon corporate boundary meets the growing outskirts of Perry Heights and Genoa. Extensive cemetery grounds like Calvary Cemetery and Forest Hill Cemetery provide genealogical landmarks, while the Wheeling And Lake Erie and Conrail rail lines track the enduring industrial corridors that shaped the Stark County economy.
