About this map

The village of Beaverdam sits at a historic transportation crossroads in Allen County, where the Dixie Hwy and the Lincoln Hwy intersect. This area of northwest Ohio is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a dense network of country cemeteries, including Woodlawn Cem and Beaverdam Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. To the south, the settlement of Lafayette is positioned near the headwaters of Little Hog Cr.

The landscape is etched by numerous small waterways such as Sugar Cr, Marsh Run, and the Ottawa River, illustrating the complex drainage of the region. Many of the roads, such as Napoleon Rd and Bentley Rd, follow the rigid lines of the Public Land Survey System, while older routes like N Dixie Hwy cut diagonally across the townships, reflecting early transit patterns that preceded the modern interstate system.
