1969 Map of Kimball

About this map

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lewis Research Center occupies a significant portion of the northern landscape in this 1969 revision, indicating the area's strategic importance during the late-century aerospace era. This scientific facility is bordered by traditional Erie County agricultural lands and small settlements like Bloomingville and Kimball. To the south, the winding course of the Huron River dominates the topography, carving through the terrain near the Milan State Wildlife Area. This map documents a crossroads of infrastructure, where the Ohio Turnpike and the Norfolk and Western railway intersect the rural grid. For genealogists, the sheet preserves the location of St Johns Ch and St Johns Cem, alongside family-named routes such as Beutal Road and Webb Settlement Road, providing a clear view of the settlement patterns between North Monroeville and the edge of Monroeville.
