2016 Map of South Cleveland

About this map

Cleveland and its suburban expansion dominate the eastern landscape of this survey, where residential development meets the steep relief of the White Oak Mountain range to the west. The city's edge is defined by the Cleveland State Community College campus and the historic grounds of Fort Hill Cem. To the west, the terrain transitions into a series of parallel ridges and hollows, including Stillhouse Hollow and Blackburn Hollow, which have historically constrained east-west travel. This geography is punctuated by gaps and springs like Lewis Gap and Baugh Spring, which served as vital points for early settlement. The presence of numerous family burial grounds, such as Seaborn Cem and Goodner Cem, reflects a deeply rooted rural heritage that persists even as the city of South Cleveland grows south along the corridor of Candies Creek.
