About this map

The confluence of the St Joseph River and St Marys River to form the Maumee River serves as the focal point for this mid-1950s survey of Fort Wayne. The urban footprint extends westward into townships like Washington and Wayne, revealing a dense network of civic and religious institutions such as St Vincents Orphan Home and St Francis College. Residential expansion is evident in the burgeoning neighborhoods of Waynedale and Indian Village, while the city's industrial and logistical foundations are highlighted by the major rail lines of the Pennsylvania and Wabash railroads.
