1969 Map of Bellevue

About this map

The industrial and rail hub of Bellevue dominates this landscape at the junction of several major transportation corridors. Located at the intersection of the Norfolk and Western and Penn Central railroads, the city shows a dense network of residential streets and civic institutions, including the McKim Sch, Ellis Sch, and a local Hospital. A significant historical marker is the Connecticut Western Reserve Boundary, which bisects the quadrangle, reflecting early Ohio land divisions. Outside the urban center, the terrain is characterized by scattered rural settlements such as Strongs Ridge and Parkertown, along with family-associated landmarks like Graves Cem and Tew Cem. The presence of a Quarry and Gravel Pit near the city limits indicates the area's geological utility, while the modern path of the Ohio Turnpike cuts across the northern landscape near Mills Creek.
