1962 Map of Poe

About this map

The St Marys River meanders through the heart of Allen County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural hubs and a complex network of drainage ditches. This survey captures the mid-century character of Hessen Cassel and Poe, where family names are etched into the infrastructure via landmarks like Muldoon Bridge and Scheiman Bridge. The land use transition is evident in the inclusion of Traver Court, while the enduring presence of local heritage is marked by a high density of country burial grounds and schoolhouses, including Antioch Cem, Bethel Cem, and Emmanuel Sch. From the Gaging Sta on the river to the Radio Facility near Yoder Road, the map illustrates a community balanced between its agricultural roots and modern technological installations.
