1963 Map of Medina

About this map

The West Branch Rocky River meanders through this landscape, which in the early 1960s was transitioning from a rural township structure into a more suburban pattern centered around Medina and Brunswick. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the county seat of Medina, showing the concentrated civic center with its Courthouse, City Hall, and several schools including Garfield Sch and St Xavier Sch. Further north, Brunswick and Brunswick Hills exhibit significant development with the appearance of a large Shopping Center and residential expansion near Lake Brunswick and Sleepy Hollow Lake. Local history is captured in traditional landmarks like Maple Grove Cem and the Pythian Sisters Home. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor and the interstate highway network reflect the era's focus on connectivity, even as smaller hamlets like Weymouth and Sherman Corners maintain their historic footprint.
