1944 Map of Van Wert

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Van Wert serves as the central hub of this mid-century Western Ohio landscape, where the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central Railroad intersect the historic Lincoln Highway. The map reveals a dense agricultural grid established during the first half of the twentieth century, punctuated by an extraordinary density of rural institutions. Small settlements like Convoy, Wren, and Ohio City anchor the townships, while the space between them is filled with a systematic network of numbered and family-named schools such as McClure Sch and Gunsett Sch.
