About this map

Cleveland and its eastern lakeshore suburbs appear here at the opening of the twentieth century, defined by a dense network of steam and electric railways. The shoreline of Lake Erie is already heavily developed, with prominent public spaces like Euclid Beach Park, Gordon Park, and Rockefeller Park framing the urban landscape. The industrial and residential growth follows the paths of the New York Chicago and other major rail lines, which cut through established communities such as Nottingham, Collinwood, and Glenville.

Further inland, the map captures a transition toward higher ground at Euclid Heights and Fairmount, where topographic contours rise away from the lake. Genealogists and local researchers will find significant landmarks of the era, including the East Cleveland Cemetery and the Garfield Tomb. This survey also documents the early infrastructure of the Great Lakes, featuring the offshore Waterworks Crib and the massive Breakwater protecting the city's harbor.
