1969 Map of Lorain
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Lake Erie's industrial shoreline defines this 1969 survey of Lorain, where the Black River winds past a massive Turning Basin and the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio rail lines converge at the docks. The map documents the city's dense urban infrastructure during a period of significant growth, noting a maritime landscape of Drydocks, a Filtration Plant, and a Naval Reserve Training Center. Moving inland, the transition from heavy industry to residential life is marked by numerous parochial institutions like St Peters Ch and St Marys Sch. To the south, the expansion of Amherst and Elyria is evident, while the large tracts of Elmwood Cemetery and Ridge Hill Memorial Park stand between the industrial core and the developing suburbs along the Ohio Turnpike.
