1963 Map of Broadview Heights

About this map

Broadview Heights and the surrounding Cuyahoga County suburbs underwent significant expansion during the mid-twentieth century, as captured in this detailed 1963 survey. The landscape is defined by the Ohio Turnpike cutting across the terrain, bridging the gap between established residential pockets and institutional landmarks. Large-scale public and religious facilities anchor the region, including the sprawling Veterans Administration Hospital and the Mount Augustine Novitiate. The era's technological footprint is visible through numerous broadcast facilities such as the Radio Tower (WJW-TV) and Radio Towers (WGAR). Local education and community life are well-represented by the Wallings Sch and St Basils Ch, while the natural topography persists at the Brecksville Reservation and along the winding Chippewa Creek. This document serves as a record of the area's transition into a modern suburban hub just before the 1970 revisions were implemented.
