About this map

Ottawa River and its tributaries, including Pike Run and Dug Run, carve through the agricultural landscape of northern Allen County. This modern survey illustrates the development patterns of Elida, Gomer, and Allentown as they integrate with the expanding western edge of Lima. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous local burial grounds such as Greenlawn Cem, Salem Mennonite Cem, and Wesley Chapel Cem, which often serve as the primary markers of earlier community centers.

Institutional growth is evident near the southern boundary, where the University of Northwestern Ohio campus borders residential neighborhoods. The transportation network is anchored by the W Lincoln Hwy, following a corridor that has historically linked these small Ohio settlements to the larger regional hub. The boundary between Putnam Co and Allen Co is clearly demarcated at the top of the sheet, providing a precise reference for property research.
