Think of it, the brown stream that meets lake eerie. An industrial waterway, its banks populated by steel mills and factories. Its channel filled with ships and tugs. The Cuyahoga River, as it reaches lake eerie after a 100mile twisting and turning journey from its head waters, is an exhausted stream. Abused and misused by man and his machines. Without the cuyahoga, the sprawling megalopias of clevelandakron would not exist. The river was the reason for originally settling this portion of the western reserve in the 1780s. The river called crooked by the delaware indians provided a waterway to the interior of ohio, and so man came and continued coming. Until today, nearly 2 Million People live and work in the river basin. In creating this urban complex, man has used the river as men have always used rivers, the flow has been put to work as a navigable stream, a water supply, and as a sewer. Mans mark is everywhere. Is this mark an epitaph for the cuyahoga, the Crooked River . You are no
