Description
This detailed city plan of Toledo, Ohio shows a fascinating snapshot of ‘The Southern Gateway of the Great Lakes’ in the early 20th century. A legend in the upper left identifies the various lines used to present city car lines, interurban railroads, steam railroads, and the city limits (highlighted in yellow).
Wards are also individually outlined and numbered. Various locations of interest are labeled throughout the image; including parks, public buildings, cemeteries, geographic features, and transportation depots. The map is affixed to the back of a 152-page guidebook to the city. It includes an exhaustive street index, numerous contemporary advertisements, descriptions of important sites, and much more.
Published in Toledo, Ohio by D.F. Dreher & Company in 1911. Engraving by the Buckeye Engraving Company with printing performed by The Franklin Printing and Engraving Company (also both of Toledo).
