1960 Map of Findlay

About this map

The Blanchard River and its tributaries, Aurand Run and Eagle Creek, anchor the development of Findlay during this period of mid-century expansion. The map illustrates a dense educational and civic network, including Findlay College, the County Courthouse, and numerous neighborhood institutions like Glenwood Jr High Sch and St Michael Sch. This survey captures the city at a pivotal moment when the heavy industrial presence of the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio railroads met the rising dominance of the interstate system, evidenced by multiple interchanges along the highway corridor.
