About this map

The village of Beaverdam and the nearby Beaver Dam Station sit at a vital transportation juncture in northeastern Allen County, where the historic Dixie Hwy and Lincoln Hwy intersect. The surrounding agricultural landscape is meticulously partitioned by a grid of rural roads such as Napoleon Rd and Lafayette Rd, connecting the smaller settlements of Lafayette and Rockport.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites throughout this terrain, including Woodlawn Cem, Gratz Cem, and the West Point Cem. The hydrology of the area is defined by a network of drainage ways like May Ditch and Marsh Run, which feed into larger water bodies like Hog Creek and the Ottawa River. These features, alongside landmarks like Liberty Chapel, illustrate a deeply rooted rural community shaped by its proximity to significant regional transit corridors.
