About this map

The city of Ravenna serves as a dense municipal core in this Portage County study, surrounded by the townships of Shalersville, Freedom, and Charlestown. The landscape is defined by massive infrastructure projects, notably the expansive Ravenna Arsenal U S Military Reservation and the West Branch Reservoir, which had recently altered the local hydrology. Local landmarks like Lake Rockwell and the Chestnut Hill Golf Course contrast with the industrial and transit corridors of the Ohio Turnpike and the Erie-Lackawanna rail lines.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds, including Hillside Cem and Maple Grove Cem, while the local education system is represented by Highland Sch and Tappan Sch. Smaller crossroads and former rail stops such as Freedom Sta, Campbellsport, and Augerburg provide a look at the residential patterns of the mid-20th century before suburban expansion further integrated these distinct rural communities into the greater metropolitan fabric.
