About this map

The Chagrin River meanders through the eastern Cuyahoga County suburbs, cutting a deep valley that separates the growing residential centers of Pepper Pike and Moreland Hills from the historic village core. This 1960s landscape, later updated in the early 1980s, reveals a high concentration of recreational and institutional land, including the South Chagrin Reservation and numerous private clubs like The Country Club and Pepper Pike Country Club.

Education and faith serve as local anchors, with the Ursuline Academy and the Mother of Perpetual Help Shrine located near Orange. The map traces the industrial and transportation corridors of the Conrail and Norfolk and Western railroads, which bypass the hilly residential heights to serve the flatter grounds of Solon and Bedford Heights. Local genealogists will find value in the placement of Orange Cem and Bedford Hts Cem, providing exact locations for family research in this period of suburban expansion.
