1961 Map of Lodi

About this map

The village of Lodi serves as the primary hub in this early 1960s study of Medina County, where the converging forks of the Black River meet the industrial lines of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The landscape is defined by its small, distributed settlements like Garden Isle, Pawnee, and Homerville, reflecting a traditional rural Ohio township structure. This period shows a transition from agricultural dominance to integrated conservation, most notably at the Spencer Lake State Wildlife Area and its associated spillway.
