1963 Map of Fort Wayne East

About this map

The confluence of the St Joseph River and the Maumee River shapes the eastern reach of Fort Wayne, where suburban development and institutional grounds met the traditional rail corridors of the early 1960s. Large-scale public facilities like the Fort Wayne State Hospital and Training Center and the Veterans Hosp occupy substantial tracts, while the urban footprint expands into residential pockets such as Greendale and Hacienda Village. The industrial and logistics backbone of the region is visible along the Norfolk and Western and Conrail lines, which cut through New Haven to the east. Notable for genealogists are several historical burial grounds, including the IOOF Cem and St Johns Cem, alongside a dense network of parish schools like St Charles Borromeo Sch and St Henrys Sch that anchored local neighborhoods during this era of growth.
