About this map

The Baltimore And Ohio railroad serves as the primary industrial axis for this portion of Northwest Ohio, anchoring the community of Deshler at a significant rail junction. The town's grid is well-defined by residential streets like Maple ST and Mulberry ST, extending toward a Trailer Park on the southeastern edge. This 1960s landscape, later updated with mid-1970s photogrammetric data, reveals a transition from the structured town center to the expansive agricultural tracts of Bartlow and Van Buren townships.

Rural life is marked by small settlements and communal landmarks, such as the village of Belmore to the south. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds including Woodlawn Cem, West Belmore Cem, and East Belmore Cem. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage ways like Beaver Creek and Hammer Creek that traverse the flat lake plain, while Oakdale Ch stands as a point of interest near the county line.
