1963 Map of West View

About this map

Butternut Ridge and the West Branch Rocky River dominate this landscape where suburban expansion begins to meet the established agriculture of Lorain and Cuyahoga counties. The presence of numerous gas wells across the central townships indicates the active extraction industry during the early 1960s, while the Ohio Toll Road Turnpike bisects the northern section, signaling a shift toward modern highway transit. Smaller rural centers like Columbia Station and Hardscrabble retain their distinct footprints amidst a network of country roads including Bagley Road and Royalton Road.
