About this map

The Maumee River serves as the central artery of this eastern Allen County landscape, where the confluence near the Saint Joseph River Dam marks the transition into the urbanized reaches of Fort Wayne. By 2010, the suburban character of the region is well-defined by a network of residential developments such as Hacienda Village, Sunnymede Woods, and Anthony Wayne Village. Institutional landmarks like the Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne campus and Dwenger Field anchor the community's modern layout.

Local history is preserved in several cemeteries scattered through the area, including Bowers Cemetery and Saint John Cemetery, which provide points of interest for genealogists. The map also captures the path of the storied Lincoln Highway, documenting its route as it passes through New Haven. An intricate system of agricultural and urban drainage, including the Paul Trier Ditch and Gromeaux Ditch, illustrates the ongoing management of the region's low-lying terrain.
