1965 Map of Rossford

About this map

Maumee River commerce and heavy rail infrastructure dominate this mid-century survey of the Wood and Lucas County border. The expansive Stanley Yard serves as a massive industrial focal point east of Rossford, illustrating the intense logistical activity of the Conrail and Toledo Terminal lines. Along the river, several large islands including Delaware Island and Grassy Island sit opposite the Toledo Filtration Plant and the famed Zoological Park. The map documents the rapid expansion of Toledo and Perrysburg as the Ohio Turnpike and Anthony Wayne Trail reshaped the local commute. Farther from the urban core, small outlying communities like Lime City, Moline, and Stony Ridge remain connected by rural routes such as Genoa Road and Walbridge Road. Local genealogy is supported by the location of the County Infirmary, Toledo State Hospital, and neighborhood landmarks like Our Lady of Perpetual Help Sch.
