2016 Map of South Russell

About this map

Chagrin River meanders through the western reaches of this Geauga County landscape, anchoring a series of communities from Novelty and Russell Center south toward Bainbridge. This 2016 survey documents a region defined by its numerous small water bodies, including Paw Paw Lake, Lake Lucerne, and Tanglewood Lake, which illustrate the suburban-residential transition of this part of Ohio. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as Riverview Cem in the north and Old Bainbridge Cem further south. The map also highlights local infrastructure like the Rataiczak Airport and Auburn Airport, reflecting the aviation needs of the area. Terrain features like McConougheys Hill rise above the drainage of McFarland Cr and Silver Cr, providing a detailed look at the local topography as it existed in the mid-2010s.
