1963 Map of West Richfield

About this map

The Cleveland Ordnance Plant and the expansive Hinckley Reservation dominate the northern landscape of this topographic study, where the rolling terrain of the Connecticut Western Reserve meets the developing suburban fringes of Northeast Ohio. Water defines much of the land use, from the recreation-centered Hinckley Lake and Granger Lake to the meandering East Branch Rocky River. Small clusters like West Richfield, Ghent, and Granger serve as anchors for a network of cemeteries and local institutions, including the Hinckley Ridge Cemetery and Highland High School.
