About this map

The Ottawa River meanders through Allen County, defining the agricultural landscape between the villages of Elida and Gomer. This 2016 survey highlights the expansion of Lima toward the northwest, where the University of Northwestern Ohio sits near the junction of several major transit corridors. The area's long-established rural character is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Greenlawn Cemetery and the Lutheran Cemetery in Elida, as well as the Ash Grove Cemetery to the east.

Transportation patterns follow a mix of historic routes and modern infrastructure, with the Lincoln Highway cutting across the northern half of the quadrangle. Smaller settlements like Allentown remain centered along the river, while several creek systems, such as Pike Run and Honey Run, drain the surrounding fields. The map provides a clear look at the transition from the concentrated residential streets of Lima to the open sections and township roads of Putnam County along the northern boundary.
