The published state record pin oak for Ohio is right down the
street
from my home. The dimensions from the ODNR website are:
Circ.188", Ht. 113', Crown 92', Points 324, in Bay Village,
Cuyahoga Co.
A link to a photo I took of it several years ago is:

The topography is flat, soils are heavy clay with a shale layer
beneath.
Pin oaks are the most predominant tree in the area, with n. red,
white,
black, bur, swamp white, and scarlet oaks also found.
