Source-derived summary

State Route 510 (SR 510) is a north–south state highway in the northern portion of Ohio. The entirety of SR 510 lies within Sandusky County. Its southern terminus is at SR 101 in Clyde, and its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 (US 6) between Fremont and Sandusky.

Route description

SR 510 runs exclusively within Sandusky County. The highway is not included as a part of the National Highway System.

SR 510 begins in downtown Clyde at a signalized intersection with SR 101, where Main Street and Maple Street meet. Following Main Street north from there, the state highway crosses the Norfolk Southern Railway tracks, then passes some homes and then a small commercial district as it arrives at its junction with US 20. Continuing north, SR 510 passes through a residential area, intersecting a few side streets along the way. Departing Clyde heading due north, SR 510 enters into rural Sandusky County, specifically Green Creek Township, and passes amid wide-open farmland, with homes appearing every so often along the roadway. SR 510 meets Bookmeyer Road, then goes on to intersect Sandusky County Road 229 (CR 229), at which point the state highway enters into Riley Township.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ohio State Route 510” is state highway in Sandusky County, Ohio, US. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ohio, State and Route, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current 198-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1937. For this dossier, Ohio, State and Route is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “state highway in Sandusky County, Ohio, US” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2492506. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
