1969 Map of Sandusky

About this map

The city of Sandusky and its Lake Erie shoreline are shown in detail during the late 1960s, a period marked by established urban neighborhoods and the expansion of the Amusement Park at Cedar Point. This survey details the transition from the dense street grid near City Hall to the outlying township lands of Perkins and Huron. The landscape is defined by its maritime and industrial connections, with the Conrail and Baltimore and Ohio railroads serving the waterfront while large quarrying operations are visible to the west. Significant local institutions are documented, including Providence Hospital, the Fairgrounds, and the Griffing-Sandusky Airport. Inland, the map captures a network of small creeks like Pipe Creek and Plum Brook winding through suburban development and golf courses, providing a precise look at the area's mid-century footprint.
