1960 Map of Moulton

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally through this part of Auglaize County, marking a historic line of land tenure across a landscape dominated by the St Marys River and the Auglaize River. Small rural centers such as Buckland and Moulton are connected by a dense grid of family-named roads like Henschen Road and Schultz Road. The presence of the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned) following the river valley serves as a remnant of an earlier transportation era, now superseded by the New York Chicago and St Louis Railroad and the New York Central. Scattered oil wells and local quarries point to the area's mid-century extractive activity, while various burial grounds including Zion Cem and Arnett Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this agricultural region.
