About this map

Convoy serves as the central hub of this Northwest Ohio agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of a significant Pennsylvania railroad line and a grid of rural section roads. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the presence of the Convoy Union Jr High Sch and a series of neighborhood spiritual centers like Sugar Ridge Ch and Asbury Ch. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage of Blue Creek, Middle Creek, and Prairie Creek, which carve gentle paths through the farmland.

Industrial activity is noted at the Union Quarries in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, while the smaller settlement of Richey anchors the southeastern corner. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Township Cem and St Johns Cem, alongside local landmarks like Friends Ch and Pleasant Chapel. The dense network of named farm roads, including Feasby Wisener Road and Wolfcale Road, reflects the established rural homesteads of the early 1960s.
