About this map

The Cuyahoga River anchors the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, winding through Munroe Falls and providing a natural boundary for the industrial and residential expansion of Cuyahoga Falls. In the north, the historic campus of the Western Reserve Academy stands as a focal point of Hudson, while the surrounding township is defined by a dense network of major rail lines including the Penn Central and Erie Lackawanna.

Suburban growth in the early 1960s is evident in the sprawling residential developments of Stow and the established neighborhoods around Silver Lake and Crystal Lake. Notable landmarks like the Kent State University Airport and several local schools, such as Fish Creek Sch and Schnee Sch, illustrate the infrastructure supporting these burgeoning communities. Local history researchers will find significant value in the documentation of family-named burial grounds like Cackler Cem and O'Brien Cem before modern development further altered the terrain.
