Little Mountain (Ohio)

Little Mountain is a hill in the northeastern region of the U.S. state of Ohio, located on the border between Chardon Township in Geauga County and Concord Township in Lake County, with an elevation of 1,220 feet (370 m).[1][note 1] Along with nearby Gildersleeve Mountain, Brown Mountain, and Thompson Ledges, it is located along the northern ridge of an extension of the Allegheny Plateau.[3]

The first permanent settler arrived at Little Mountain in 1815.[3] In the late 19th Century, a resort was located near the summit;[4] it has been the location of various hotels, the first built in 1831, the last demolished in 1925. Among the resort's frequent visitors were James A. Garfield and John D. Rockefeller. A nearby settlement called Joice's Corners existed briefly during the time of the resort.[3][5]

Nearby Holden Arboretum provides tours of Little Mountain, whose access is otherwise restricted, and owns much of the land encompassing it.[3][6]

Notes
  1. While the U.S. Geographic Names Information System database lists the elevation as 1,220 feet (370 m), United States Geological Survey topographic maps identify the elevations of the hill's two peaks as 1,266 feet (386 m) and 1,247 feet (380 m).[2]
gollark: Nvidia added real-time raytracing stuff to distract from the lack of significant generational price/performance improvement (because of poor competition in the market), and machine learning stuff for some reason, and then hyped them so much that they threw out stuff like "sanity" and "consistent branding".
gollark: AMD's got a 5700 XT "Anniversary Edition", though...
gollark: Nvidia's done it stupidly *too*! It goes GTX 9x0 (Ti) → GTX 10x0 (Ti) → RTX 20x0 (Ti) + GTX 16x0 (Ti) (in the same generation) → now some of them have "Super" variants for some reason and some are being replaced by the super versions but some aren't.
gollark: The prices seem to be weirdly shifted in Australia.
gollark: If you want something slightly better than your current GPU, there's the RX 580, which is quite cheap, and yes the naming schemes are stupid.
