1958 Map of Fremont East

About this map

Fremont sits at a geographic crossroads in the late 1950s, anchored by the Sandusky River and a dense network of transportation lines. The map reveals the city's mid-century footprint, including institutional landmarks like the Army Reserve Training Center and Atkinson School. To the southeast, the village of Green Springs is defined by the St Francis of Oak Ridge Hospital and the nearby Green Springs State Nursery. The rural landscape between these hubs is bisected by the New York Chicago and St Louis railroad and the General Mc Pherson Highway. A notable historical detail is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally across the townships of Ballville and Green Creek, marking an earlier era of territorial division. Numerous family-named burial grounds, such as Mt Lebanon Cemetery and Schoch Cemetery, are scattered throughout the agricultural landscape.
