1903 Map of Bowling Green
USGS Topo · Published 1921About this map
The Bowling Green area at the start of the 20th century was a hub of rapid interurban transit and agricultural commerce. This landscape is crisscrossed by a sophisticated network of steam and electric railways, most notably the Toledo Bowling Green and Southern Traction Line and the Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton RR, which facilitated movement between small rural settlements like Hull Prairie, Sugar Ridge, and Jerry City. To the northwest, the Maumee River and the parallel Miami and Erie Canal pass through Waterville, marking a corridor of older water-based transportation. The interior is defined by the diverging branches of the Portage River, including North Branch Portage River and Middle Branch Portage River, which weave through the townships of Webster, Freedom, and Liberty.
