About this map

The city of Van Wert serves as the focal point of this Northwest Ohio landscape, which reveals a transition from municipal density to the extensive agrarian grids of Van Wert County. Significant local infrastructure includes the Van Wert County Airport and the Van Wert County Fairgrounds, alongside the specialized water management system of Van Wert Reservoir Number Two and Van Wert Reservoir Number One. These reservoirs, managed by the Van Wert Reservoir Number Two Dam and its counterpart, reflect the region's reliance on managed water resources for its growing population.

Further south, the landscape opens into the rural communities of Ohio City and Jonestown, where family and community heritage is preserved at Wallick Cemetery and Woodland Cemetery. The map documents a complex drainage network featuring Dog Creek, Long Prairie Creek, and the Little Auglaize River, which dictated the early settlement patterns and road placements. Historic transit routes like the Lincoln Hwy intersect with a grid of family-named roads, providing a detailed spatial record of the county's late-twentieth-century development.
