2013 Map of Beaverdam

About this map

The village of Beaverdam serves as a central hub in this modern survey of northwest Ohio, where the historic Lincoln Highway and Us-30 intersect near the headwaters of Sugar Creek. The landscape is defined by its agrarian grid, with family and community legacy preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Woodlawn Cemetery and Gratz Cemetery. To the south, the settlement of Lafayette sits near the banks of Hog Creek and Little Hog Creek, illustrating the long-standing relationship between local hamlets and the drainage basins of the Ottawa River watershed. The map details a transition from the historic village cores to modern infrastructure, all while maintaining the footprints of early pioneers at sites like Liberty Chapel Cemetery and West Point Cemetery.
