1961 Map of Cincinnati East

About this map

Norwood and Cincinnati define the dense urban and suburban landscape of this mid-century survey, which documents the extensive rail infrastructure that once drove the region's industry. The tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio, Penn Central, and Norfolk and Western railroads crisscross the terrain, connecting industrial nodes in Lockland and Reading. This era shows the transition of transportation, as the Cross County Highway and other major arteries began to reshaped the movement of people between established communities like Blue Ash and Wyoming.
