It would be neat to have a Cuyahoga River map with roads and cities along its banks for a “Road Trip”. Although I was born and raised in CFO, I have lived in Texas since 1969. I know the river is not what I remember but finding where some of the pictures I have seen online would be a challenge – – – without a map. Just a thought…

Hi Terry. Thanks for the suggestion. We will look into creating a map. The river has certainly changed since 1969.
