1969 Map of Lindsey

About this map

The village of Lindsey serves as the focal point of this Northwest Ohio landscape, situated at a junction of rail and water where the Penn Central tracks cross Muddy Creek. The area is defined by its drainage into the Portage River to the north, with a complex network of tributaries like Wolf Creek and Ninemile Creek carving through the agricultural townships. This late-1960s snapshot shows a region transitioning into the modern era, as the massive Ohio Toll Road Turnpike slices diagonally across the traditional grid of country roads, bypassing older crossroads like Hessville and Kingsway. Local genealogy is well-preserved through markers like the Roose Cem and the Township Sch in Lindsey, while the appearance of a Landing Strip and a Sewage Disposal Pond indicate the growing infrastructure needs of the post-war period.
