1963 Map of Grafton

About this map

Industrial expansion and postwar suburban development define the landscape around Elyria and Grafton during the early 1960s. The southern reach of the city shows a dense network of streets and institutions like Gates Hospital and Eastern Heights Sch, while the surrounding townships maintain a patchwork of agriculture and emerging residential clusters. Significant infrastructure projects such as the Ohio Turnpike and the New York Central System intersect the region, facilitating the movement of goods and people between the growing centers of Carlisle and Eaton.
