2013 Map of Defiance East

About this map

The confluence of the Auglaize River and the Maumee River defines the landscape of this 2013 survey, where the city of Defiance serves as the regional hub. The map captures the urban footprint of the city, including institutional landmarks like Defiance College and athletic sites such as Justin F Coressel Stadium and Fred Brown Stadium. Extending eastward from the city center, the Maumee River flows toward the Independence Reservoir, passing Preston Island and the small settlement of Independence. A network of rural roads, including Adams Ridge Road and Jewell Road, connects outlying areas like Jewell to the river corridor. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial sites across the countryside, from the Saint Michaels Catholic Cemetery in the north to the Pleasant Bend and Ayersville Cemetery in the south.
