1935 Map of Berkey
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
Ten Mile Creek meanders through this agricultural section of Lucas County, where the infrastructure of the mid-1930s reveals a transition from rail-dependent transport to highway travel. The Toledo and Western Electric Railway and the Edison Transmission Line Company corridors cross the landscape, connecting small hubs like Berkey and Allen Junction. This survey captures the distinct township layout of Richfield, characterized by a dense network of drainage ditches such as Webster Ditch and Lathrop Ditch, which were vital for maintaining the farmable Prairie lands. Rural life is anchored by local institutions including Richfield Center Sch, St Elizabeth Sch Richfield Center, and Immaculate Conception Sch. The map also preserves the boundary of the Twelve Mile Reservation, providing a link to early regional land divisions near the Michigan border.
