1967 Map of North Canton

About this map

North Canton and its surrounding townships in Stark and Summit counties appear here during a period of significant suburban expansion and infrastructure growth. The central landscape is dominated by the Akron-Canton Airport and the path of Interstate 77, which together shaped the development of communities like Greensburg and Greentown. The map captures the industrial and natural character of the region, from the active Strip Mine operations in the east to the residential clusters around Willowdale Lake and Singer Lake. Local civic life is anchored by landmarks such as Green High Sch, the Queen of Heaven Ch, and several historic burying grounds including Greenlawn Cem and Woods Cem. The presence of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor and local water bodies like the Tuscarawas River further illustrate the area's transition from a rural agricultural and mining district into a modern regional hub.
