About this map

Holden Arboretum spans a significant portion of this landscape, framing the headwaters of Pierson Creek and Foster Pond. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the East Branch Chagrin River, which flows through the heart of the area near Kirtland Hills and Fowlers Mill. To the west, the elevation rises sharply at Gildersleeve Mountain, overlooking a mix of agricultural land and suburban growth in Chesterland and Scotland.

The persistence of local horticulture is evident through several named orchards and farms, including Patterson Fruit Farm, Eddy Fruit Farm, and Schupp Orchard. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial grounds, such as the Rolling Green Memorial Cemetery, Old Settlers Cemetery, and King Street Cemetery, documenting the families who settled this corner of Lake County. These features, along with landmarks like the Chesterland Post Office, illustrate the transition from a traditional farming community to a modern residential corridor.
