About this map

The boundary between Medina and Summit counties bisects this landscape of glacial lakes and established township roads. In the northeast corner, a portion of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park sits adjacent to the village of Richfield, while the southern reaches show the early 21st-century growth of Fairlawn and Montrose. The terrain is characterized by geological landmarks like Whipps Ledges and Wordens Ledges, alongside a network of smaller water bodies such as Crystal Lake and Bath Pond.

Genealogists will find an unusually high concentration of small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Morris Chapel Cem, the rural Coddingville Cem, and Ganyard Cem. Education and industry are represented by the Hamrick Sch and the Shade Tree Farm, reflecting a transition from strictly agrarian use to a mix of suburban development and preserved natural spaces in the hills above the Yellow Creek drainage.
