The massive Pickands Mather & Co. iron ore docks in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1902.
They existed along the south shore of the Old Channel of the Cuyahoga River. That's along what is now River Rd., between Division Ave. and Mulberry St. (Orange on the modern map.)

Walworth Run in Cleveland, just as construction was beginning on the culvert that would enclose the stream.
Now, imagine that deep valley full of slaughter yards, oil refineries, soap factories, cattle yards, hog yards, foundries, warehouses...
