About this map

The industrial and civic core of Toledo is defined here by the confluence of the Maumee River and Ottawa River, showing the city's complex mid-century infrastructure. This 1965 revision captures a landscape densely packed with neighborhood schools and parishes, from DeVilbiss High Sch to St Michaels Sch. The map preserves the alignment of the Twelvemile Reservation boundary, a significant historical surveyor's line that cuts through the urban grid.

Transportation remains the lifeblood of the area, centered on the massive West Toledo Yard and Air Line Junction. Major transit arteries like the Anthony Wayne Trail and Toledo Terminal rail lines facilitate the movement of goods and people across the city. Beyond the city center, the survey tracks the transition into suburban communities like Ottawa Hills and Oregon, as well as the recreational and memorial spaces of Ottawa Park and Woodlawn Cemetery.
