About this map

The Ottawa River meanders through the heart of this landscape, connecting the village of Elida with the neighboring settlement of Allentown. This 2019 survey documents a region transitioning from traditional farmland to suburban expansion, most notably visible where the northwest edge of Lima meets the campus of the University of Northwestern Ohio. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Ash Grove Cem and the Dutch Hollow Cem.

Transportation remains anchored by the Lincoln Hwy, which cuts through the northern portion of the map near the community of Gomer. Smaller watercourses like Pike Run and Sugar Creek define the drainage patterns between these established centers, while the border between Putnam Co and Allen Co marks the northern limit of the study area. The concentration of cemeteries such as Greenlawn Cem and Allentown Cem provide specific points of interest for researchers tracing family lineage in the area.
