About this map

The Cuyahoga River and its upper tributaries carve through the glaciated plateaus of northeast Ohio in this early twentieth-century survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of early rail and electric lines, including the Eastern Ohio Traction company and the Erie RR, which connected agricultural hubs like Middlefield and Burton to larger regional markets. Small crossroads and rail stops like Welshfield and Burton Sta appear alongside more established villages.

Toward the southeast, the terrain becomes more distinct where the Nelson Ledge and Kennedy Ledge mark significant outcrops of conglomerate rock. These formations, along with the headwaters of the Mahoning River and Grand River, create a diverse topographical profile. Local genealogists and researchers can find fine-scale details of early twentieth-century life, from the scattered hamlets of Mantua Center and Auburn Corners to the industrial and academic foundations of Garrettsville and Hiram.
