About this map

The growing suburbs and institutions of northwestern Ohio and southern Michigan are documented in this 1965 revision. The landscape is defined by a dense network of educational and religious centers, including Lourdes Jr College, Notre Dame Academy, and St Ursulas Academy. The New York Central railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving the industrial corridor and connecting the city center to outlying areas like Centennial and the village of Sylvania.

Significant open spaces and community landmarks are prominent, from the sprawling grounds of Toledo Memorial Park (Cemetery) and Memorial Park to the recreational facilities at Inverness Golf Club and Camp Miakonda. The Ottawa River and Tenmile Creek provide the primary natural drainage through the residential developments of Ottawa Hills and South Hill Park. Traces of the region's extractive history remain visible at the Quarry near the western edge of the sheet.
