2019 Map of Ada

About this map

Ada serves as the focal point of this Northwest Ohio survey, dominated by the campus of Ohio Northern University. The landscape reflects a highly organized agricultural tradition, defined by a rigid grid of township roads and an extensive network of drainage features such as Binkley Ditch and Cummins Ditch that manage the headwaters of Ottawa Creek and Riley Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including McClure Cemetery and Hasson Cemetery. The historical Lincoln Highway traverses the northern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the enduring path of early transcontinental travel through Hardin County. Further south, the Ada Airport and various municipal streets like West North Avenue show the modern infrastructure surrounding the university town.
