1994 Map of North Olmsted

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern boundary of this suburban landscape, where the communities of Avon Lake, Bay Village, and Westlake have matured into a dense network of residential streets and community landmarks. The terrain is notably marked by Butternut Ridge, a geological remnant of an ancient shoreline that now serves as a primary corridor for settlement and transit. This 1994 snapshot of the western suburbs of Cleveland shows the area's transition into a fully developed residential region, yet it maintains significant green space through the Rocky River Metropolitan Reservation and numerous private grounds like the Avon Oaks Country Club. Family history is well-preserved across the quadrangle in various burial grounds, ranging from the Evergreen Cem near the lake to the Butternut Ridge Cem and Chestnut Grove Cem further south. The map documents a high density of parochial and public education centers, including Learwood Jr High Sch and St Bernadette Sch, illustrating the mid-to-late 20th-century growth of these Cuyahoga County communities.
