About this map

The Maumee River serves as the dominant geographic feature of this mid-1960s survey, threading between the growing industrial and residential districts of Toledo, Rossford, and Perrysburg. The landscape is a complex network of transportation and institutional history, featuring massive rail infrastructure like the Toledo Terminal and Stanley Yard. Prominent social landmarks include the Toledo State Hospital, the County Infirmary, and the Zoological Park.

Downriver from the river islands—Grassy Island, Clark Island, and Delaware Island—the terrain shifts toward the agricultural and industrial outskirts of Lucas Co and Wood Co. Local history is preserved in the locations of the Eagle Point Cem and neighborhood schools like Lark Sch and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Sch. The map also captures smaller communities and junctions such as Lime City, Stony Ridge, and Bates before the full expansion of the interstate era.
