1960 Map of Bucyrus

About this map

The intersection of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads anchor the industrial and civic core of Bucyrus in this detailed 1960 survey. As the county seat, the city displays a dense network of neighborhood schools like Lincoln Sch and Norton Sch, while the city's eastern edge is dominated by the Fairground and the Sandusky River. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the agricultural townships of Holmes, Liberty, and Whetstone, where family and community history is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds such as Friends Cem and Stewart Cem. The northeastern corner highlights the village of Sulphur Springs, while the southern reaches show the early footprint of the Port Bucyrus Airport and the meandering headwaters of the Olentangy River.
