USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Shaker Heights and the surrounding eastern suburbs of Cleveland show a maturing post-war landscape in the early 1950s, characterized by expansive residential growth and recreational institutions. The map reveals the planned layout of the Heights communities, punctuated by the manicured grounds of the Shaker Heights Country Club and Canterbury Golf Club. The area is bisected by a complex network of rail infrastructure, including the Pennsylvania RR and the Erie RR, which supported the industrial corridor near Maple Heights and Bedford.
