1958 Map of Bowling Green North

About this map

Bowling Green and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Wood County are captured here during a period of mid-century growth and infrastructure revision. The northern reach of the city is anchored by the Bowling Green State University campus, while the broader terrain is defined by a dense grid of section roads and several key rail corridors, including the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central. The Maumee River cuts across the northwestern corner, featuring distinctive landmarks like Roche de Boeuf and Missionary Island near Waterville. Rural life is evidenced by numerous landmarks such as Plain Ch, Tontogany Cem, and the Otsego Sch. Later updates, marked in purple, illustrate the expansion of the Wood County Airport and the evolving suburban footprint near the Anthony Wayne Trail and Dixie Highway.
