2010 Map of Poe

About this map

Saint Marys River winds through this rural Allen County landscape, where the settlements of Poe, Hessen Cassel, and Middletown serve as focal points for a grid of country roads. The area is defined by its agricultural character and an extensive drainage network, including Nickelsen Creek and various man-made channels like Snyder Ditch and Lambert Ditch. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as Bethel Cemetery and Antioch Cemetery, which often indicate the location of early parish communities. Transportation across the river is facilitated by named spans like Muldoon Bridge and Scheiman Bridge. The presence of Wayne Trce in the east suggests historical travel corridors that predated the modern highway system, while the community of Hoagland sits on the eastern edge of this agricultural quadrangle.
