About this map

The Chagrin River carves its way through the growing lakefront suburbs of Lake County, Ohio, during an era of significant post-war development. This 1963 survey, updated with 1988 revisions, captures the dense residential expansion in Eastlake, Willowick, and Mentor-on-the-Lake. The landscape is defined by its recreational and infrastructure hubs, notably the Lost Nation Airport and a concentration of private clubs such as the Lost Nation Country Club and Tam-A-Rac Country Club.

Educational and religious centers are densely mapped, providing a detailed record for genealogists and local historians. Schools like St Mary Magdalene Sch and North High Sch serve the lakeside neighborhoods, while the Conrail lines and major thoroughfares like Lakeshore Blvd and Euclid Ave illustrate the region's connectivity between the shoreline and the interior. The presence of the Gaging Station and various sewage disposal sites along the river indicates the period's focus on water management and municipal planning along the Lake Erie coast.
