About this map

Kent State University serves as a major focal point in this 2019 landscape, situated between the city of Kent and the sprawling water systems to the north. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and reservoirs, most notably Lake Rockwell and Lake Pippen, which dominate the central terrain. These water bodies, along with smaller features like Twin Lakes and Lake George, are connected by an intricate system of drainage including Breakneck Creek and the Cuyahoga River.

Settlement patterns show distinct clusters, from the established centers of Ravenna and Streetsboro to smaller residential developments like Sugar Bush Knolls and Brady Lake. For the genealogist or local researcher, the map preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, such as Pioneer Cem, Standing Rock Cem, and Saint Mary Cem. The northern portion of the quadrangle includes the Portage County Airport, while the eastern edge reaches toward the community of Black Horse, reflecting a mix of academic, residential, and rural infrastructure.
