1994 Map of Cleveland North

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern edge of this Lake County and Cuyahoga County shoreline, where industrial urban centers meet conserved natural spaces. The metropolitan reach of Cleveland and East Cleveland transition eastward into coastal communities like Willowick and Mentor-on-the-Lake. This 1990s-era map illustrates a landscape shaped by both aviation and recreation, featuring the Burke Lakefront Airport near the city center and the smaller Lost-Nation Airport further up the coast. Environmental preservation is prominent along the marshy lakefront, specifically at the Mentor Marsh State Natural Preserve and Headlands Beach State Park. The interior reveals the transition from dense suburbs to the more wooded terrain of the Chagrin Falls State Forest and the expansive La Due Wildlife Area, while a U.S. Coast Guard Station and a local Lighthouse stand watch over the commercial waters of Fairport Harbor.
