1963 Map of Cleveland South

About this map

The Cuyahoga River carves a deep industrial and logistical path through the heart of Cleveland, dominated in the early 1960s by the complex rail networks of the New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio. This survey captures a dense urban landscape where residential neighborhoods in Parma and Brooklyn press against massive transport infrastructure, including the Union Terminal and the river’s Turning Basin. The area is notably dense with commemorative and institutional land, from the large Woodland Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery to the School for the Blind and St Ignatius College.
