1960 Map of Defiance West

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The confluence of the Maumee River and the Tiffin River anchors this landscape in northwest Ohio, where the city of Defiance and the village of Brunersburg sit at a vital historic waterway junction. The map illustrates a transitional period as the town expanded, shown through purple revision tints and the presence of the Defiance Memorial Airport. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the sprawling Riverside Cemetery near the riverbanks to smaller rural burial sites like Stephens Cem and Kibble Cem. Rural life is marked by several country congregations, including Marysdale Ch and Olive Branch Ch. Of significant historical interest is the path of the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned), which traces the southern landscape alongside the Norfolk and Western railroad, documenting the evolution of Ohio's transportation corridor from water to rail.
