About this map

The Maumee River defines the landscape of western Paulding County as it winds through the townships of Carryall and Crane. In the early 1960s, the village of Antwerp serves as the primary hub, situated near the riverbanks and the Wabash railroad line. Evidence of the region’s earlier transport era is visible in the corridor of the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned), which runs parallel to the Norfolk and Western tracks through the center of the sheet.

Genealogists will find a cluster of family-named burial grounds including Gordon Cem, Sloogh Cem, and Banks Cem distributed across the farmland. Small rural intersections like Knoxdale and landmarks such as Grange Hall and Bethel Ch represent the community fabric of this agricultural area before 1970s updates were mapped. The intricate drainage network of Marie DeLorme Creek and North Creek underscores the hydrological complexity of the Black Swamp region.
