2019 Map of Chesterland

About this map

Chesterland and Kirtland anchor this Lake and Geauga County landscape, where the East Branch Chagrin River carves a path through the rolling corridor of Northeast Ohio. The topography is defined by significant rises like Gildersleeve Mtn and Piersons Knob, overlooking a network of smaller water bodies including Hourglass Pond, Blueberry Pond, and Sycamore Lake. The map reveals a dense layering of local history through its many burial grounds, ranging from the central Chester Township Cem to the Settlers Cem and the sprawling All Souls Cem. The transition from rural crossroads like Pecks Corners and Scotland to established centers such as Chester Center reflects the long-term settlement patterns of the Western Reserve. Significant road networks like Chardon Rd and Chillicothe Rd connect these communities, while the course of Griswold Cr adds further detail to the drainage basin of the larger Chagrin River system.
