About this map

Maumee Bay defines the northern reaches of this mid-1960s study, where the Michigan-Ohio state line crosses open water near North Cape and Gard Island. On the southern shore, the industrial landscape of eastern Toledo and the growing residential blocks of Oregon show a complex network of infrastructure. Massive rail operations are evident at Homestead Yard and along the Terminal RR, serving the shipping facilities at Presque Isle and the mouth of the Maumee River.

Beyond the heavy industry of Ironville, the map reveals quieter pockets like the village of Harbor View and the wooded expanse of Pearson Park. Significant local landmarks for genealogists include Willow Cemetery and several parochial institutions like St Ignatius Ch and St Johns Sch. The transition from the urban grid of Point Place to the marshes and drainage ditches near Momeneetown illustrates the mid-century transformation of the Lake Erie shoreline.
