2013 Map of Bowling Green South

About this map

The southern periphery of Bowling Green transitions into a structured landscape of residential developments and agricultural holdings in the early 2010s. Modern neighborhoods such as Westgate Homes, Wintergarden Heights, and Meadowvale cluster near the city limits, while the surrounding Wood County countryside is punctuated by small, established communities including Rudolph, Portage, and Wingston. The drainage patterns of the N Br Portage River and Middle Br Portage River cross the terrain, defining the local topography alongside the historic Grand Army of the Republic Hwy. This map provides significant genealogical value through its marking of local burial grounds like Portage Cem and Bethel Cem, and cultural landmarks such as the Church Camp and Bordner Airport. The precise parcel-like grid of the Public Land Survey System reveals the systematic development of this region south of the university.
