1963 Map of Fort Wayne West

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Fort Wayne expands westward across this 1963 survey, where the confluence of the St Marys River and the Maumee River defines the city's early geography. The urban core is a dense network of civic and religious institutions, including the City Hall, Courthouse, and the expansive Lindenwood Cemetery. Education and social welfare are prominent themes, evidenced by the Indiana School for Feeble Minded Youth, St Vincents Orphan Home, and several collegiate campuses like St Francis College. Beyond the city limits, a postwar suburban pattern emerges in residential developments such as Waynedale, Brierwood Hills, and Lincolnshire. Transportation is dominated by a heavy rail presence, with the Pennsylvania Railroad, Wabash Railroad, and the New York Chicago and St Louis Railroad converging near the industrial and commercial centers.
