About this map

Chagrin River and its various tributaries, including Silver Creek, McFarland Creek, and Bridge Creek, define the landscape of this portion of Geauga County. The 2010 geography reveals a transition from the established village of South Russell toward more localized clusters such as Russell Center, Novelty, and Bainbridge. The area is notably dense with small private aviation and recreational sites, featuring the Rataiczak Airport, Auburn Airport, and the Derecksky Airport, alongside youth-oriented spaces like Red Raider Camp and Red Wing Camp.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, from the Old Bainbridge Cemetery and Restland Cemetery in the south to Riverview Cemetery and Briar Hill Cemetery in the north. The presence of numerous residential water bodies, such as Lake Lucerne, Tanglewood Lake, and Paw Paw Lake, each controlled by its own dam, illustrates the mid-to-late 20th-century development pattern of creating lakeside communities within the township structures.
