About this map

The Maumee River serves as the central artery for this Lucas County landscape, dividing the growing communities of Maumee and Perrysburg. The 1964 topography, later updated with late-1970s developments in purple, shows the rapid expansion of Toledo into the historic Twelvemile Square Reservation. Significant military history is preserved here at the Fallen Timbers State Memorial and Fort Meigs State Memorial, which anchor the riverbanks near Blue Grass Island.

Rail infrastructure from the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio lines intersects the Ohio Turnpike, illustrating the era's transition toward highway-based transit. Smaller settlements like Holland and Sandburr Corners appear alongside numerous parochial institutions, including St Josephs Sch and Trinity Sch, which highlight the deep-rooted community character of Springfield and Adams townships during this mid-century period.
