About this map

Akron-Canton Regional Airport and its adjacent Air National Guard facilities dominate the central landscape of this Stark County region during a period of significant suburban expansion. The 1984 photo-revisions highlight the growth of North Canton and surrounding communities like Greentown, Uniontown, and Greensburg. The industrial and transport history of the area is represented by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor and several gravel pits.

Neighborhood landmarks such as the Queen of Heaven Ch, Millroy Sch, and the Drive-in Theater reflect the social fabric of the era. Residential development is interspersed with recreational sites including the Mayfair Country Club and Willowdale Lake. The map preserves the locations of numerous family-history sites, from the Woods Cem to the Greenlawn Cem, while tracing the headwaters of Nimisila Creek and the West Branch of Nimishillen Creek.
