1969 Map of Lorain
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The industrial and maritime character of Lorain is defined by its position on Lake Erie at the mouth of the Black River. This 1969 survey, revised with late-1970s urban data, shows a landscape shaped by steel and shipping, from the Turning Basin and Drydocks to the complex rail corridors of the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio. The dense neighborhood structures of South Lorain and Homewood are visible alongside numerous parochial schools such as St Nicholas Sch and St Ladislaus Sch, reflecting the community's mid-century social fabric.
