About this map

The northern reaches of Mansfield and its surrounding townships show a mid-century landscape of industrial growth and academic expansion. The expansive grounds of the State Reformatory dominate the eastern edge, while the 1980s updates on this map reflect the development of the Ohio State University Mansfield Campus and the adjacent North Central Technical College. Settlement patterns follow the historic corridors of the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail railroads, which converge at Toledo Junction.

Genealogists can find numerous family-centric landmarks and rural institutions, from the Sacred Heart Seminary to several country burial grounds like Clay Memorial Cem and Boyce Cem. Smaller crossroads communities like Pavonia and Amoy maintain their identity amidst the rolling terrain of Jackson and Franklin townships. The map also detail local recreation and infrastructure, including the Mansfield Lahm Municipal Airport and several neighborhood parks such as North Lake Park.
