2019 Map of Ravenna

About this map

The Portage County Courthouse stands at the center of Ravenna, anchoring a landscape where historical townships meet modern infrastructure in northeast Ohio. The urban grid transitions into rural hamlets such as Shalersville, Freedom, and Drakesburg, while the massive Michael J Kirwan Reservoir dominates the southeast, creating a complex shoreline that includes Goose Island. This reservoir and the West Branch Mahoning River basin shape the local drainage, including tributaries like Hinkley Cr and Bixon Cr. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the quadrangle, from Maple Grove Cem in the city to the Charlestown Township Cem and Hillside Cem in the surrounding countryside. The map also captures significant transportation and industrial features, including the Portage County Airport and the sprawling grounds of the Ravenna Arsenal.
