About this map

The Maumee River winds through this landscape on the Indiana and Ohio border, carving deep oxbows as it flows past the northern edge of Woodburn. The river's historical importance as a transit corridor is visible in the path of the Erie Canal and the Wabash and Erie Canal alignment, which run parallel to the water through the southern portion of the survey. These waterways, combined with numerous drainage ditches like Marie DeLarme Creek, highlight the intensive management of this lowland region for agricultural use.

Small rural clusters such as Hursttown, Halls Corners, and Georgetown are scattered across the northern sections, connected by a grid of family-named roads including Wann Road and Hamm Road. Local social centers are anchored by Bethel Ch and Scipio Ch, while the landscape is dotted with several cemeteries like Banks Cem and Diehl Cem. Near a sharp bend in the river, Bluecast Spring remains a notable landmark in this corner of Allen County.
