1958 Map of Woodburn North

About this map

The Maumee River winds through the borderlands of Indiana and Ohio, defining the agricultural and transport history of the region. The landscape reflects the transition from canal-era infrastructure to the mid-20th-century road network, most notably where the Erie and Wabash Canal and Wabash and Erie Canal remnants parallel the river's path. In the southwest corner, the growing town of Woodburn is established near these early shipping routes. To the north and east, small settlements like Halls Corners and Georgetown are linked by a dense grid of township roads named for local families, including Knouse Road and Zuber Road. Cultural landmarks such as Scipio Ch, Bethel Ch, and the Diehl Cem are scattered across the agrarian landscape of Springfield and Scipio townships. Notable natural features like Bluecast Spring and the Marie DeLarme Creek system provide drainage into the Maumee, while an isolated Oil Well indicates the local industrial activity of the period.
