About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern reaches of this urban landscape, where the East Basin meets a dense grid of schools, churches, and industrial infrastructure in the 1990s. The shoreline is dominated by massive public works and transportation hubs, including Burke Lakefront Airport and the iconic Municipal Stadium. A complex network of intake tunnels and a massive Breakwater illustrate the city's heavy reliance on the lake, while the Cuyahoga R anchors the industrial core to the southwest.

Institutional life is concentrated along major arteries like Euclid Ave and St Clair Ave, featuring historic centers of learning and faith such as Trinity Cathedral, Fenn College, and St Vitus Sch. The map preserves the mid-century street layout of neighborhoods like Bratenahl and the Hough area, documenting a period when the Memorial Shoreway and various interchanges reorganized the city's connection to its waterfront.
