1962 Map of Poe

About this map

The St Marys River winds through the rural landscape of southern Allen County, where early 1960s agricultural patterns meet emerging transportation corridors. This area is anchored by the crossroads of Poe, Hoagland, and the settlement of Hessen Cassel, showing a community structured around its watercourses and drainage systems like Snyder Ditch and Valentine Ditch. The map documents a high density of family and community landmarks, including the Archbold Cem and El Honan Cem, which reflect the deep roots of the local Jefferson and Marion townships.
