Cleveland
Cleveland features a diverse topography shaped significantly by its proximity to Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River. The city is characterized by a rapid elevation change, with the lakefront sitting at approximately 569 feet above sea level. Just inland, Public Square rises to about 650 feet, while further from the shore, Hopkins Airport reaches an elevation of around 791 feet. The area showcases a mixture of flat plains and gently rolling hills, particularly in the outer neighborhoods, which rise towards the higher elevations of the Glaciated Allegheny Plateau. The Cuyahoga River, flowing through the city, has carved a significant gorge, contributing to the region's varied landscape. Overall, Cleveland’s topography is marked by its scenic views of both the waterfront and the surrounding hilly terrain, providing a unique backdrop for the urban environment.
