About this map

Bowling Green dominates the southern landscape of this survey, where the expanding campus of Bowling Green State University and residential growth near City Park appear alongside 1971 photorevisions. To the north, the Maumee River carves through the terrain, holding Missionary Island and Granger Island near the settlement of Waterville. This river corridor is anchored by the historic Roche de Boeuf landmark and industrial sites like the local Filtration Plant.

Agricultural Wood County is defined by a grid of family-named roads and small crossroads like Haskins and Tontogany. The rail infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central lines connects these rural outposts, while smaller details like the Union Hill Ch, Oak Grove Cemetery, and various township landmarks provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Middleton or Washington townships.
