1986 Map of Lima

About this map

The Auglaize River and St Marys River systems anchor this West-Central Ohio and East-Indiana borderland, where drainage patterns define the agricultural landscape. The region's industrial and social infrastructure is well-marked, including the Lima Ordnance Modification Center and Lima State Hospital. Higher education and specialized facilities are prominent, with the Ohio State Univ Lima Campus and Lima Technical College serving as regional hubs. Local history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds such as St Josephs Cemetery and Woodland Cemetery, while the economy is reflected in the extensive rail network of the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Norfolk and Western RR. Recreational and conservation interests are represented by the expansive Grand Lake-St Marys State Park and the St Marys State Fish Farm at the southern edge of the survey.
