2019 Map of Antwerp

About this map

The Maumee River defines the landscape of northwestern Paulding County, winding past the village of Antwerp. This 2019 survey captures a rural landscape where transportation history remains visible, particularly along the path of Old US Hwy 24 and the village streets of E Canal St and Canal St, which echo the region's historic canal-era roots. The settlement of Knoxdale sits to the east, centered within a network of drainage ditches like Oswalt Ditch and creek systems including Marie DeLarme Cr and N Cr. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of early local history, marking numerous burial sites such as Riverside Cem, Banks Cem, and the Methodist Episcopal Cem. These locations, along with Gordon Cem and Forder Cem, highlight the dispersed nature of the county's early pioneer settlements and church congregations.
