USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The industrial and maritime activity of Lorain dominates this late-1960s survey, where the Black River meets Lake Erie. The landscape is a dense network of transport and industry, featuring a complex Turning Basin for lake freighters and extensive rail yards operated by the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. The map records the expansion of the urban footprint through South Lorain and Amherst, as well as the path of the newly established Ohio Turnpike cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle.
