Description: Overhead photograph showing Fort Meigs State Park along the Maumee River. Fort Meigs, built during the War of 1812, was a strategic fortification along the banks of the Maumee in present-day Perrysburg, Ohio.

Today, the fort is the largest reconstructed wooden-walled fort in the United States and is an Ohio History Connection site as well as a National Historic Landmark. This photograph comes from a series of aerial photographs of Ohio's state properties, including universities and colleges, state hospitals, parks, lakes and reservoirs, and prisons. Each photograph is labeled with the institution name. Typically, there are two views of each property, oblique and vertical. The photographs were taken by the 112th Photo Section of the 37th Division Air Services in 1930. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Dated to the 1930s or 1940s, this photograph shows Bolivar Dam, located on the Sandy Creek of the Tuscarawas River. Originally completed in 1938, the dam manages flood control in the Muskingum Watershed Area. The embankment has a maximum height of 87 feet, with a flood control pool level of 962 feet. This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.
