About this map

Elida and Allentown serve as the primary population centers in this rural Ohio landscape, where the Ottawa River meanders through agricultural fields and small woodlots. The map reveals a dense network of local history, most notably through its numerous family and community burial grounds such as Clerenger Cemetery, Carman Cemetery, and the Dutch Hollow Cemetery. The village of Gomer, situated near the Gomer Post Office, anchors the northern portion of the quadrangle alongside the historic W Lincoln Hwy.

Water drainage is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with several tributaries including Pike Run, Dug Run, and Honey Run cutting across the grid of township roads. The layout of roads like Old State Route 12 and Mericle Rd illustrates the long-established land divisions typical of Allen County. Toward the southeast, the Long Pool and Allentown Cemetery mark the transition toward more developed areas near the outskirts of Lima.
