About this map

The Cuyahoga River anchors the landscape as it winds through this portion of the Western Reserve, influencing the historical development of settlements like Mantua, Mantua Center, and Hiram Rapids. The area is characterized by significant water features, including the Akron City Reservoir and the expansive Mantua Swamp, which delineate the low-lying terrain south of the Geauga Co Portage Co line. Educational history is centered at Hiram College, while the local genealogy is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Pioneer Trail Cem, Westlawn Cem, and Hillside Cem.

Transport and commerce patterns are visible through the network of historical roads like Painesville Ravenna Rd and the presence of Far-View Airport. The map also captures smaller, distinct locales such as Jeddoe and Mantua Corners, showing a community structure built around river bends and early thoroughfares. From the W Br Mahoning River in the south to Sawyer Brook in the north, this survey details the varied drainage and settlement patterns of central-northern Ohio.
