Source: City of Cleveland. Map is in a private collection. This map has a very large file size. It will take time to load and you will not be able to print it. Points of interest: Lincoln Park, mid-left hand side; Tremont Elementary, almost middle (a triangle); and, remnants and a faint outline of a private, oval race track for residents located at the bottom middle of the map. This race track was called the "Valley Track" and was used by "amateur reinsmen and gentlemen riders of the day who wanted to ride and race their blooded horses." The race track operated from 1894 to 1897. |

| Cleveland's Southside, 1984. Map shows freeway but was not updated to show correct landmarks, e.g. Lincoln High School on Scranton Road was no longer there. |
| Southern portion of Ward 13. The South Side/Tremont is in this Ward. Only major streets are marked. Very large map. Source: City of Cleveland Planning Commission. |
| Maps tell a story sometimes better than words. There is no map available before 1868 showing the Southside/University Heights being a part of Cleveland proper. |
Cleveland Leader Printing Company, 1869. Points of interest: University Street is present day West 7th Street. (The present day University Street was named in 1906 and in 2000, Railway Avenue became part of University Street.) The 1869 University Street went down to the "Flats" to Hadlow's Farm and a "picnic area." The Hospital shown above University Street is the Homeopathic Hospital, not anything connected with the Civil War's Camp Cleveland. Source: Cleveland Public Library, Map Department |
County, Ohio 1868. Published by the H. S. Stebbins Co., New York. New York. Very large map showing University Heights in relation to other parts of Cleveland before annexation was finalized. A note of interest: Contrary to all of the written descriptions about the streets of this area being named after Cleveland University, it is interesting to note that according to this map, only two streets reflected the University; Literary and University streets. There is no Professor nor College Avenue yet. Source: Private Collection. Used with permission. |
