1960 Map of Continental
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Auglaize River and Blanchard River converge in this western Ohio landscape, creating a fertile river valley defined by early transport and industry. The winding course of the rivers dictated the placement of small agricultural and industrial centers like Dupont and Cloverdale, while the Norfolk and Western railroad established Continental as a significant junction. Notable for local historians, the map preserves the alignment of the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned) in Washington Township, which once served as a primary trade artery before the rail era took over.
