About this map

The Maumee River corridor serves as the central artery for this mid-1960s study, dividing the burgeoning communities of Maumee and Perrysburg. The landscape is deeply tied to its military history, prominently featuring several commemorative sites such as the Fallen Timbers State Memorial, Fort Meigs State Memorial, and Fort Miamis State Memorial. These sites, along with the Wayne Trail Mon, ground the map in the region's significant 18th and 19th-century frontier history even as modern infrastructure expands around them.

Industrial and transit networks define the era, with the Ohio Turnpike slicing across the terrain and multiple rail lines like the New York Central Railroad and Norfolk and Western Railway converging near the city centers. Beyond the urban cores, small settlements like Monclova, Roachton, and Holland maintain their identity, while the river is dotted with landforms like Blue Grass Island and Ewing Island. Educational and religious institutions, including the Divine Word Seminary and numerous parochial schools, highlight the established community fabric of Lucas and Wood counties.
