1914 Map of Paulding

About this map

Maumee River meanders across the northern reaches of this northwest Ohio landscape, carving a wide valley through Carryall and Crane townships. The map documents a critical moment of industrial transition, showing the Wabash Canal (Abandoned) running parallel to the Wabash R R, illustrating the era when railroads finally superseded the historic water-borne trade routes. The county seat of Paulding serves as a central hub, where the Cincinnati Northern R R intersects with local commerce near the Infirmary.
