2013 Map of Chesterland

About this map

Kirtland and the surrounding woodlands of Lake and Geauga counties are defined by a complex network of glacial ponds and the winding Chagrin River. This 2013 landscape is dotted with numerous burial grounds of significant genealogical value, including the Old Settlers Cem and the Chester Township Cem. The topography is anchored by prominent elevations such as Gildersleeve Mtn and Piersons Knob, while the northern portion features a series of private lakes and ponds including Corning Lake, Blueberry Pond, and Hourglass Pond. The drainage pattern of the East Br Chagrin River cuts through the eastern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural watercourses that have historically shaped the settlement patterns of Waite Hill and Kirtland Hills. This modern survey provides a precise look at the residential expansion and preserved open spaces in this region of Northeast Ohio.
