Prospectors proposed several plans to alter the Cuyahoga River, and this 1917 blueprint outlines a drastic plan to straighten the river. The state of the river in 1917 is highlighted in turquoise, and the proposed rerouting is highlighted in orange. Regarded unfeasible, the plan was never approved. Irishtown Bend is located just left of center in the blueprint, along the northwest bank of the bend curving westward. | Date: 1917 | Source: Cleveland State University. Michael Schwartz Library.
