About this map

Beaverdam and Lafayette anchor this Allen County landscape, where the agricultural grid is etched with historical burial grounds and winding waterways. The village of Beaverdam serves as a central hub, historically linked to the Beaver Dam Station and supported by its own Beaverdam Post Office. This area is particularly dense with pioneer and family cemeteries, including Woodlawn Cemetery, Gratz Cemetery, and Liberty Chapel Cemetery, which provide vital touchpoints for genealogical research.

The terrain is defined by a network of drainage and natural flows, with Sugar Creek and the Ottawa River cutting across the survey lines. Infrastructure from this era shows the integration of modern highways like N Dixie Hwy alongside traditional routes such as Sandusky Rd. To the south, the settlement of Lafayette remains a prominent fixture, marked by its LaFayette Post Office and nearby Lafayette Cemetery.
