About this map

The Auglaize River winds through the heart of this region, shaping the layout of Wapakoneta and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Moulton and Duchouquet townships. By the early 1970s, the development of Interstate 75 had become a dominant corridor, intersecting the established paths of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads. These transportation routes highlight the area's growth from a river-centered settlement to a modern transit hub.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including numerous family and church burial grounds like Wisely Cem, Hittepole Cem, and St Joseph Cem. The map also details local civic life, from the County Fairground and Harmon Playground to the Blume Sch and the Courthouse downtown. The southern boundary is marked by the Indian Treaty Boundary, a significant historical line running through the rural sections near Fryburg.
