A Case Study of the Grand River, Ohio Niraj Lamichhane I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access.

Signature: Niraj Lamichhane, Student Date Approvals: Suresh Sharma, Thesis Advisor Date Tony Vercellino, Committee Member Date Bradley A. Shellito, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ii ABSTRACT ... The flood warning system can be effectively used to reduce the potential property damages and loss of lives. Therefore, a reliable flood warning system is required for the evacuation of people from probable inundation area in sufficient lead time. Hence, this study was commenced to predict the travel time and generate inundation maps along the Grand River, Ohio for various flood stages. A widely accepted hydraulic tool, Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), was used to perform the hydraulic simulation. HEC-GeoRAS, an ArcGIS extension tool, was used to prepare geospatial data and generate flood inundation maps for various flood stages.

  • Shaker Heights' Revolt Against Highways
    Shaker Heights’ Revolt Against Highways Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degrees Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Megan Lenore Chew Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: William Childs, Advisor Paula Baker Kevin Boyle Copyright by Megan Chew 2009 Abstract This narrative details how highway building, environmentalism, race and class intersected in suburban Shaker Heights, Ohio, during the 1960s. The methodology combines local, environmental, political and social histories. While the city’s successful racial integration narrative has defined Shaker Heights, its class narrative is also significant. The unsuccessful attempts to build the Clark and Lee freeway through the eastern suburbs of Cleveland reveal important aspects of the class narrative and had national resonance, directly and indirectly connecting to important individuals and movements of the era. The success of the anti-freeway movement adds to Shaker’s atypical postwar social narrative. Part of a larger movement of freeway revolts, the Shaker Heights activists benefited from class advantages, political connections and the evolution of Interstate highway legislation since 1956. Activists benefited from built and natural environmental movements of the 1960s as well. In succeeding in preventing the highways, citizens managed to protect the suburb’s prewar character during an era of massive physical and social change. Rejecting an archetypal view of suburbs in the postwar era, this project stresses the importance of looking at the variability of actions, individuals and ideas within individual communities. Singular narratives of postwar ii suburbs, or of suburbs themselves, obscure these differences and prioritize certain narratives over others, including the narrative of this project.

  • 2 Introducing Painesville Township
    2 Introducing Painesville Township 2.1 History Pre-history: The Erie and the Whittlesey The Erie Indians, sometimes referred to as the “Cat Nation,” inhabited the area south of Lake Erie near Buffalo, and were said to have lived as far west as Sandusky. Estimates of their size put their population at about 10,000 to 16,000 people in 1600. The Erie eluded European contact, and most information regarding the tribe came from second-hand accounts passed on to historians from other tribes. The Erie supposedly lived in traditional long houses located in scattered, stockaded villages. They were farmers and hunters, like surrounding tribes. During warm weather, the Erie grew and harvested corn, beans and squash. Following the harvest they would embark on the winter hunt, living in winter camps. The Erie exhausted their local supplies of beaver, which they used to trade with other tribes for the white man’s wares. They started to encroach on other tribes’ hunting areas, leading to warfare. In the mid- 1650s, the Erie were also joined by a number of Huron refugees, fleeing from the decimation of their Confederation by the Iroquois. The Iroquois, however, demanded that the Erie give these Huron over to them. The Erie refused. A tense standoff lasted for nearly two years. It boiled over when all 30 Erie representatives at a peace conference were killed by the Iroquois. The Erie inflicted heavy losses on the Iroquois but, without the benefit of firearms, they were, ultimately destined to failure. By 1656 the Erie were a defeated people. The few that were not killed were assimilated into the victorious tribes, most notably the Seneca.
