About this map

The Maumee River winds through the northwestern corner of Paulding County, shaping the settlement patterns and infrastructure of this Ohio landscape. Near the river's southern bend, the village of Antwerp is established along a network of historic transit corridors, including the Wabash and Erie Canal and Old US Hwy 24. This intersection of water and road highlights the town's evolution from a canal-era hub to a modern crossroads.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the township, such as Riverside Cem on the edge of town, and more remote locations like Gordon Cem, Banks Cem, and Slough Cem. The drainage of the surrounding agricultural land is managed by a series of waterways, including Marie DeLarme Cr and Oswalt Ditch, while the small settlement of Knoxdale sits further east along the highway. Large sections of the township, designated by boundaries like t3n r1e and t3n r2e, remain primarily rural, defined by a grid of county roads.
