About this map

The Cuyahoga River valley serves as the central corridor for this 1960s study, where the historic Ohio and Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio RR parallel the water's winding course. This era shows the landscape transitioning from its agrarian and industrial roots toward recreational and suburban expansion. Settlements such as Peninsula and Everett are well-defined alongside rural intersections like Ira and Northampton Center.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several family and community burial grounds such as Revere Cem, East Bath Cem, and the Chestnut Memorial Cemetery. The map also details numerous educational institutions of the mid-century, from Revere High Sch to the Northampton Sch. Terrain features like the Ritchie Ledges and Boston Ledges underscore the valley's distinct topography, while industrial sites like the Akron Sewage Disposal and various Sand and Gravel Pits highlight the infrastructure supporting nearby Cuyahoga Falls.
