1937 Map of Sylvania
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
The New York Central Railroad and several electric or freight lines, such as the Toledo and Western Railroad, anchor this 1930s landscape along the Michigan-Ohio border. Sylvania serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a transition from industrial activity to suburban development. To the west, the Medusa Quarry and France Quarry near Silica highlight the region's extraction history. Moving toward the burgeoning residential areas to the east, the map reveals leisure and community landmarks like the Ottawa Hills Riding Club, Highland Meadows Golf Club, and a Boy Scout Reservation along Tenmile Creek. The southern portion of the map is defined by the North Boundary Twelvemile Reservation, showing a dense network of local drainage such as Hill Ditch and Zink Ditch that shaped the agricultural and residential plats of Springfield and Adams townships.
