1963 Map of Chesterland

About this map

Holden Arboretum and Chapin State Forest dominate the northern landscape of this Geauga and Lake County transition, where the glacial topography creates a series of unique water features like Corning Lake and Hourglass Pond. The map documents a mid-century period of suburban expansion into the Western Reserve, centered around settlements like Chesterland and Kirtland. Cultural and educational institutions are prominent, including the Sisters of Notre Dame Educational Center and the St Anselm Sch.
