1994 Map of West Richfield

About this map

Hinckley Reservation dominates the northwestern portion of this 1990s landscape, centered around the Hinckley Lake reservoir and the notable Buzzard Roost overlook. This era in Medina and Summit counties shows a mix of preserved parklands and growing residential areas like Richfield Heights and Fairlawn. The map captures the interface between these communities and the older agricultural and rural foundations of the Connecticut Western Reserve. Local history is well-preserved in the numerous cemeteries such as Beach Cem and Ganyard Cem, alongside community landmarks like Morris Chapel and the Township School in Granger. The hydrology of the area is well-defined by the East Branch Rocky River and various water bodies including Bath Pond and Granger Lake, reflecting the well-watered character of the region as it transitioned toward the end of the century.
