About this map

Sherwood serves as the primary hub of this 1960 landscape, situated at the intersection of the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads. The town's grid is bounded by Fountain Street and the rail corridors, illustrating a mid-century community built on transportation and trade. To the southeast, the Maumee River snakes through the terrain, its course followed by several family-named landmarks and rural routes like Sausman Road.

Rural Defiance County is marked by a dense network of country roads named for local families, including Mc Cavit Road, Blosser Road, and Motter Road. Cultural markers of the era are visible in the scattered country churches and burial grounds, such as St Johns Ch, North Delaware Ch, and Glore Cem. A distinctive technological feature of the post-war landscape is the Radio Range Station located northwest of the main settlement.
