About this map

The Holden Arboretum occupies a significant portion of this Geauga County landscape, punctuated by several named ponds such as Corning Lake and Hourglass Pond. As of the mid-20th-century revision, the area around Chesterland and Chester Center shows the transition from rural crossroads to residential expansion, while maintaining historical landmarks like Fowlers Mill and several local burial grounds, including Center Chardon Cem and All Souls Cemetery.

Industry and recreation are visible through scattered Gravel Pits and the Pebblebrook Country Club, while the winding East Branch Chagrin River defines much of the eastern terrain. Educational and religious institutions are well-represented, from the Sisters of Notre Dame Educational Center to the West Geauga High Sch. Traces of the region's transport history remain visible along the Old Railroad Grade and the prominent ascent of Gildersleeve Mtn.
