1939 Map of Berkey

About this map

The Toledo and Western Railroad cuts a diagonal path across this northern Ohio borderland, serving as a primary corridor through Richfield and Springfield townships just before the 1940s. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, such as Tenmile Creek, Langenderfer Ditch, and Prairie Ditch, which facilitated the agricultural development of these Lucas County fields. Small rural hubs like Berkey, Richfield Center, and Raab appear as crossroads of local life, anchored by landmarks like Immaculate Conception Sch and Wolfinger Cem.
