1960 Map of Napoleon East

About this map

The Maumee River corridor in Henry County defines this landscape, where the vestiges of early Ohio transportation meet the agricultural grid of the mid-20th century. Just north of the river, the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned) remains visible, tracing a path parallel to the water through Damascus Cem. This infrastructure is layered with the Wabash and the Toledo Detroit and Ironton railroads, which served the hubs of Napoleon and Liberty Center. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous landmarks, including Forest Hill Cemetery and Young Cem, as well as rural congregations like Liberty Chapel and Sharon Ch. The map captures a period of established local industry and community life, evidenced by the Fairground, the Southside Sch, and the presence of a Sandpit in Harrison township.
