About this map

The industrial and maritime landscape of the western basin of Lake Erie defines this area during the mid-1960s. The shoreline is a complex mix of recreational and industrial use, featuring the dense development of Toledo and Oregon alongside established neighborhoods like Point Place and Carland Beach. The influence of the Maumee River is central to the local economy, shown through the extensive rail infrastructure of the Toledo Terminal and Wheeling and Lake Erie lines that service the docks at Presque Isle and Harbor View.

Further inland, the transition to residential and agricultural life is marked by local landmarks like Momeneetown and the expansive Pearson Park. Educational and religious foundations of the community are visible through sites like St Ignatius Ch and Clay High Sch. The map also captures mid-century social fixtures, including a Drive-in Theater near Booth, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of Lucas County before further suburban expansion reshaped the lakefront.
