About this map

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park dominates this landscape, preserving a deep corridor where the Cuyahoga River carves through the terrain. The map traces the historical infrastructure that once facilitated travel and industry through the valley, including the Tinkers Creek Aqueduct and the iconic Station Road Bridge. This era shows a mix of conservation and suburban expansion, with the parkland bordered by established communities like Brecksville, Independence, and Northfield.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, such as Boston Mills Cem and Dewey Cem, alongside unique geographical landmarks like Indian Mound. The hydrological detail is significant, capturing the series of cascades including Brandywine Falls and Blue Hen Falls, while the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway continues to follow the winding course of the river through this protected valley.
