Map of Cleveland and Vicinity

Detailed map of Cleveland, Ohio published near the end of the Roaring 20s.

This finely lithographed map of Cleveland, Ohio shows a broad area around the port city situated on the shores of Lake Erie. Bright red lines indicate the city borders, village limits, county line, and house numbers across the city. Parks, cemeteries, and other outdoor areas are highlighted in green.

Inset maps at the top of the sheet show a continuation of the image in the northeast corner as well as a simple outline map of the downtown district. Within the latter, over one hundred different buildings are identified.

The map was compiled, published, and copywritten in 1928 by the Foreman-Bassett Company. Additional maps on the verso show the territorial growth and dates of annexation across the Cleveland area, as well as the various city words and proportional representation districts. An aerial view of the city gives a photographic perspective on the skyline, with construction ongoing for the Cleveland Union Terminal (completed in 1930).
