2016 Map of Mantua

About this map

The Cuyahoga River meanders through the heart of northern Portage County, anchoring a landscape defined by its glacial history and rural character. The village of Mantua sits along the river's bend, while the higher ground to the east is occupied by the village of Hiram, notable for the campus of Hiram Coll. This 2016 survey captures the area's intricate network of waterways and wetlands, including the extensive Mantua Swamp and the southern reaches of La Due Reservoir at the Geauga County border. Genealogists will find a concentration of local history in the many burial grounds across the quadrangle, from Westlawn Cem and Eastlawn Cem near Mantua Center to the secluded Vaughn Cem and Fairview Cem. The terrain rises toward Derthick Hill, overlooking a patchwork of aviation and athletic facilities like Far View Airport and Carcioppolo Field.
