2013 Map of Peninsula

About this map

The Cuyahoga River corridor defines this landscape, winding through a valley deeply etched by geological features like the Ritchie Ledges and Boston Ledges. This modern era of preservation is centered on the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which encompasses significant local history through landmarks like the Everett Road Bridge and the Furnace Run Aqueduct. The transition from rural valley to suburban centers is evident as the map moves from the village of Peninsula toward the expanding residential areas of Cuyahoga Falls, Akron, and Fairlawn. Numerous small waterways, including Furnace Run, Yellow Creek, and Slipper Run, feed into the main river basin. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, from the Cedar Grove Cem in the north to the large Rose Hill Burial Park and Chestnut Memorial Cem in the southern reaches.
