About this map

Novelty and Fullertown anchor the northern landscape of this Geauga County region, where the Chagrin River and its numerous tributaries like McFarland Creek have shaped the local geography. The area is defined by a series of residential lake communities, including Lake Lucerne, Tanglewood Lake, and Paw Paw Lake, illustrating the post-war suburban development patterns that transitioned this area from rural farmland to a corridor of private estates and planned neighborhoods.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites preserved here, from Restland Cemetery in Bainbridge to the smaller Munn Cemetery and Morton Cemetery further east. The road network, including the prominent Chillicothe Road, connects long-established settlements like Yates Corners and McFarlands Corners. The terrain rises to notable high points such as McConougheys Hill, providing a topographical overview of the varied water bodies and scattered woodland that characterize this portion of the Western Reserve.
