1907 Map of Bluffton

About this map

Bluffton serves as the central hub of this Northwest Ohio landscape, where the Northern Ohio RR and Lima Lake Erie and Western RR converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and small runs, such as Moffitt Ditch and Homer Green Ditch, essential for the agricultural development of the surrounding townships like Richland and Orange. These watercourses reflect a period of intensive land reclamation, turning marshy ground into productive farmland.
