As a map nerd (and with about ten maps to add to this post) I figure this could be a cool place to post historic maps (and just cool maps in general) that you might come across.

 

These come from the General Plan of Cleveland from Cleveland Planning Commission in 1951.

More renderings, but here are some (crappy) photos of the Group Plan from 1907

Are there any drawings of the proposed interior of the unbuilt train station from the Group Plan?  I've never seen any.

hmmm, I'll see next time I'm in there (Public Admin Library). FWIW they had a lot of pages of narrative/descriptions of buildings but it seemed like mostly exterior renderings.

Haven't dug into library archives in a while but here's some from online: 

 

1877 (if I'm not mistaken, Great Lakes has this downstairs by their bathrooms)

Got a tour of the Map Room the other day, some really neat stuff. A lot isn't in the digital gallery due to copyright, but they said they'd have no problem sending scans over...

 

First map of Cleveland:
