About this map

Lima serves as a dense industrial and transit hub in the early 1960s, defined by its extensive rail infrastructure including the Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna RR, and Baltimore and Ohio RR. The city's growth is visible through numerous educational institutions like Whittier Sch and Jefferson Sch, alongside significant medical facilities such as St Rita Hospital. To the east, large-scale water management is evident at Metzger Reservoir and Ferguson Reservoir, while the southwest is dominated by an Oil Refinery and extensive Tank Farm. Moving south into the rural landscape of Perry and Duchouquet townships, the terrain transitions to agricultural use, marked by country churches like Olive Chapel and small settlements including Hume and Buckland along the Auglaize River.
