1965 Map of Walbridge

About this map

Walbridge Yard serves as a massive industrial anchor in this 1965 survey, illustrating the critical rail infrastructure connecting the Chesapeake and Ohio, New York Central, and Pennsylvania railroads. This network supported the growth of neighboring communities like Walbridge, Northwood, and Oregon, while agricultural holdings such as Cresceus Farms and East Lawn remained prominent. The transition from rural to suburban is evident in the development around Woodville Gardens and the inclusion of the Toledo Airport. Genealogists will find significant local history markers in the Roselawn Memorial Park, Lake Cem, and Allen Cem, alongside landmarks like Zion Ch. The map also captures the path of the Ohio Turnpike as it cuts through Lake and Troy townships, defining the modern transport corridor of the era.
