About this map

The city of Delphos straddles the intersection of several counties in western Ohio, serving as a significant rail and water transport hub. This survey illustrates the legacy of 19th-century infrastructure with the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned) still clearly traced through the landscape. The urban core is densely detailed, featuring institutions such as Jefferson High Sch and St Johns Sch, alongside several public spaces like Garfield Park and Waterworks Park.

Beyond the city limits, the rural terrain is dominated by the winding course of the Auglaize River and Jennings Creek. The map documents a scattered network of small community centers and rural landmarks, including Scotts Crossing and Landeck, as well as numerous family-linked sites such as Hartshorn Cem and Walnut Grove Cem. The presence of Oil Wells and a Quarry near the city indicates the local industrial activity that persisted into the mid-20th century.
