About this map

University Heights and Shaker Heights anchor the northern half of this topographic study, where the planned residential grid is punctuated by the waters of Upper Shaker Lake and Lower Shaker Lake along Doan Brook. To the east, the sprawling campus of John Carroll University and the University School sit near Lyman Circle, reflecting the educational and social character of these established suburbs. The landscape shifts south toward a high density of memorial grounds, including Highland Park Cemetery and Zion Memorial Park Cemetery, illustrating the long-term land-use patterns of eastern Cuyahoga County.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident at Thistledown Racetrack and Randall Racetrack in the central corridor, while the southern reaches follow the descent into the river valley. The Cuyahoga River and Tinkers Creek define the southern border, where the terrain drops towards the Great Falls. This map also documents the complex highway interchanges at Randall and Bedford Heights, showing how modern infrastructure has integrated into the older settlement patterns of Maple Heights and Bedford.
