1938 Map of Toledo

About this map

The Maumee River serves as the industrial and logistical spine of this late 1930s landscape, where dense rail yards like the Airline Junction and Gloverleaf Yard underscore the city's role as a major transportation hub. The survey details a maturing urban environment, captured as neighborhoods like Mellwood and Ferndale expand northward toward the Michigan border. This era shows a community deeply invested in its civic and educational infrastructure, visible in the prominent footprints of Toledo University and several major secondary schools including DeVilbiss High Sch and Scott High Sch.
