2023 Map of Northfield

About this map

Cuyahoga Valley National Park dominates the western half of this landscape, preserving the wooded corridor of the Cuyahoga River and its tributary systems. The terrain is defined by deep cuts from Tinkers Creek, Sagamore Run, and Brandywine Creek, the latter of which features the notable Brandywine Falls. This area illustrates the historical transition from industrial riverfront activity, represented by the company town site of Jaite, to modern residential suburbs like Sagamore Hills and Walton Hills. Genealogists will find several well-documented burial grounds, including the Northfield Macedonia Cem and the Boston Mills Cem. The map captures the meeting of major transportation arteries, with I-271 and I-80 cutting through the established communities of Northfield and Macedonia, providing a detailed look at how these late-century infrastructure developments reshaped the local topography and settlement patterns.
