About this map

Chardon serves as the central hub of this northern Ohio landscape, where the headwaters of several significant drainage systems begin their descent. The terrain is defined by the continental divide between the Chagrin River and East Br Chagrin River flowing toward Lake Erie, and the West Br Cuyahoga River, Butternut Cr, and Hopsons Cr which feed the Cuyahoga system. This transition is marked by prominent elevations like Ballards Hill and Woodin Hill.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the township and surrounding areas, including Chardon Center Cem, Hambden Township Cem, and the County Home Cem near Merritt. To the southeast, the village of Aquilla sits along the shores of Lake Aquilla, adjacent to the broad Carroll Flats. The map details a well-established road network, from the historic Gar Hwy to the local Old State Rd, documenting the rural-suburban character of Geauga County in the early 21st century.
