1953 Map of East Cleveland

About this map

Lake View Cemetery and the institutions of Cleveland Heights anchor this mid-century look at the urban expansion along the Lake Erie shoreline. The landscape is densely developed, featuring a complex grid of schools and parishes such as Villa Angela Academy and St Johns Sch that served the growing suburban populations of Euclid and South Euclid. Extensive infrastructure, including the New York Central railroad corridor and the Intake Tunnel extending into the lake, highlights the industrial and civic support systems required for this burgeoning metropolitan area.
