Panoramic reproduction view of the city known as Akron, Ohio looking
southwest, drawn by Albert Ruger and published by Ruger & Stoner in
1882. Akron is located along the Cuyahoga River and much of it rests on
the Glaciated Allegheny Plateau region of Ohio giving it cold winters
and warm to hot and humid summers. Established in 1825, Akron soon
prospered with the completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal. The city's
history as a rubber capital began in 1869 when B. F. Goodrich started
the Goodrich Corporation. The industry had a major part in making Akron
the birthplace of the American trucking industry and becoming a central
hub for interstate trucking.
The map features clearly labeled
street names with lively scenes of railroad, carriage and pedestrian
traffic. Complete reference list below.
