If you grew up in Bucyrus, or your family still lives off Sandusky Avenue, this map was made with you in mind. It's a new aerial view of Bucyrus in Crawford County, Ohio, built from modern data and given a vintage look. You'll see about 6,600 buildings in red, a blue river winding through the middle of town, rail lines, parks, and the farm fields that ring the city.
From North Sandusky Avenue to Hopley Avenue
On this map you'll find North Sandusky Avenue, South Sandusky Avenue, South Walnut Street, East Mansfield Street, Lincoln Highway, Hopley Avenue, Plymouth Street, Marion Road, East Rensselaer Street, West Southern Avenue, Aumiller Park, Oakwood Cemetery, Lions Park, Linden Park, Norton Way, and more. Each red shape is a building, so zoom in on the preview and look for yours.
The Nortons, the first settlers of Bucyrus
Henry Howe wrote about Bucyrus in his 1891 book on Ohio history. He called the Nortons "the first settlers of Bucyrus." A 1902 history of Crawford County says Samuel Norton was the first settler of Bucyrus township. He was born about a mile from Congress Spring, near Saratoga, New York. Look for Norton Way on the map. The street shares the family's name.
Howe wrote that when Bucyrus was laid out, the only way to take teams to the lake was by way of New Haven. By ox team, that trip usually took ten days to two weeks. Keep that in mind when you look at the streets on this map today.
South Walnut Street is a good place to start looking. Three spots on it are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Scroggs House, the McGraw House, and D. Picking and Company. The old Toledo and Ohio Central Depot on East Rensselaer Street is listed too. So is the Bucyrus Mausoleum on Southern Avenue.
Bucyrus, from Aumiller Park to Lions Park
Created by KNOWOL in 2026, this print sets red buildings and pale street lines over soft green farm fields and a winding blue river. The title panel reads "Aerial View of Bucyrus, Ohio" with the coordinates 40°48' North 82°59' West.
It fits well in a living room, a home office, or a hallway by the front door. It's a good gift for anyone who moved away from Bucyrus and still pictures South Walnut Street or Aumiller Park. Open the preview and zoom in to find your own block. See sizes and frames for the Bucyrus map.
