2013 Map of Sylvania

About this map

The Michigan-Ohio state line bisects this landscape, separating Monroe and Lucas counties in a region defined by the transition from the city of Toledo to the established suburban and rural pockets of Sylvania and Lambertville. This area is a dense concentration of community institutions and memorials, anchored by the expansive grounds of Toledo Memorial Park and the academic campus of Lourdes Coll. The natural hydrology of the region is traced through the winding paths of Tenmile Creek and the Ottawa River, which flow through a mix of developed residential grids and preserved green spaces like the R A Stranahan Senior Arboretum and Camp Miakonda. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, from the Whiteford Union Cemetery to the Resurrection Cemetery, while industrial and utility sites like the Sylvania Water Works and the Toledo Suburban Airport highlight the area's essential infrastructure.
