About this map

Sandusky serves as the focal point of this late 1960s study, showcasing a dense urban grid and industrial waterfront where the Conrail and Baltimore And Ohio lines meet the Turning Basin. The map illustrates the city’s established social infrastructure, from the St Marys Ch and St Josephs Ch to an extensive network of local schools like Ontario Sch and Jackson Jr High Sch. Just across the Sandusky Bay is the iconic Cedar Point peninsula, featuring its Amusement Park and Battery Park at the tip of the landform.

Industrial and public land uses are prominent on the city's periphery, including a large Quarry and the Osborn State Farm. The transition from city to suburbs is marked by the presence of the Griffing-Sandusky Airport and the Plum Brook Country Club near the Huron boundary. This edition also details the Cedar Point Causeway and Cedar Point Road, providing a clear record of the transportation links that defined this Lake Erie hub during its mid-century height.
