About this map

The Upper Cuyahoga State Scenic River defines the landscape of this portion of Portage and Geauga counties, winding through a corridor of Marsh Wetlands and natural preserves. The educational and social heart of the region is centered at Hiram College, while the surrounding rural townships of Mantua and Hiram maintain a network of historic crossroads such as Mantua Center and Mantua Corners.

Infrastructure and conservation efforts are evident in the northern reaches, where the Akron City Reservoir and Black Brook Dike manage the local waterways. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds including Hillside Cem, Westlawn Cem, and Fairview Cem. The map also captures specialized land uses, from the industrial Tank Farm near the village of Mantua to the recreational grounds of Camp Hi Boys Camp.
