If you grew up off Sweet Valley Drive or Canal Road, or you've walked the Towpath Trail below the hills, this map is for you. It's a modern aerial view of Valley View in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, made from modern data and given a vintage look. A blue river winds down the sheet between green, shaded hills. Red buildings fill the north end along Granger Road and Rockside Road. Rows of smaller ones climb the ridges to the east, and Alexander sits near the bottom right.

The South Park Village Marker Near Stone Road
An Ohio historical marker stands on the Towpath Trail near Canal Road and Stone Road. It tells about South Park Village, which sat across the Cuyahoga River from that spot. Archeologists found the remains of a four-acre Native American village there. The people lived in shared homes. They grew maize, beans and squash in the flat fields by the river. They hunted deer, elk and black bear, and they gathered clams and fish. People left South Park and came back several times between A.D. 1000 and 1600. The marker says their Whittlesey Tradition was the first culture that belonged only to this area.
