About this map

The James A Garfield National Historic Site anchors the residential and suburban landscape of this Lake County region, where the city of Mentor meets the Lake Erie shoreline. This area exhibits a dense network of local roads and major thoroughfares like Mentor Ave and Tyler Blvd, which connect the commercial centers to the quieter outskirts of Kirtland Hills and Waite Hill. The transition from the lakefront at Mentor-on-the-Lake to the higher elevations of Little Mtn in the south illustrates the area's diverse topography, carved by waterways such as Heisley Cr and Kellogg Cr.

Cultural and civic life is centered around landmarks like the Lake County Fairgrounds and the Jerome T Osborne Senior Stadium. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Blackbrook Cem and the Mentor Avenue Cem. Further north, the maritime character of the region is evident at Fairport Harbor and the Grand River mouth, while secluded spots like L'Alouette Plumeé Lake highlight the pocketed natural areas remaining within the suburban development.
