1986 Map of Cleveland South
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The industrial corridor between Akron and Cleveland defines this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the dense suburban expansion and massive transportation network of Northeast Ohio. Centered on the winding Cuyahoga River, the map highlights the newly established Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, preserving a significant green belt between these major urban centers. Further east, the sprawling Ravenna Arsenal and various large-scale water projects like Michael J. Kirwan Reservoir and La Due Reservoir suggest the regional importance of infrastructure and defense. This planimetric record captures the region’s evolution from its heavy industrial roots, represented by the Conrail and Erie Lackawanna RR lines, to a landscape increasingly dominated by higher education centers such as Kent State University and Hiram College.
