About this map

Middlefield serves as the central hub of this eastern Geauga County landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad angles northwest toward Burton Station. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Cuyahoga River and the meandering course of Swine Creek, which carves a distinct valley as it flows toward Bundysburg and the Trumbull County line. A mix of agricultural tradition and mid-century development is evident in the presence of the Geauga County Airport and the Shrine of Maria-Poch near the southern border.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several rural landmarks, including the Hayes Road Sch and the Burroughs Cem. The southern reach of the map transitions into the Parkman area, featuring Lake Estabrook and Camp Chickagami along the Grand River. From the high point at Sugarloaf to the small settlements like Tare, the map preserves the mid-century layout of townships such as Troy and Burton.
