1959 Map of Kimball

About this map

The Plum Brook Ordnance Works dominates the northern landscape of this 1959 survey, reflecting the significant military and industrial presence in Erie County following the war years. To the south, the terrain transitions into a dense network of transport and small settlements, where the Ohio Turnpike cuts a modern path across older agricultural townships. The region is anchored by established communities like Bloomingville, Kimball, and North Monroeville, each connected by a complex system of rail lines including the Baltimore and Ohio and the New York Chicago and St Louis.
