Ohio Canal Plat Map Collection
Description: Canal plat map showing Six Mile Creek Reservoir in Paulding County and the adjacent path of the Wabash and Erie Canal. The Reservoir was constructed to supply water to the Wabash and Erie, which ran approximately east to west across Paulding County, and intersected the north-south Miami and Erie Canal at the nearby village of Junction. The map was created under the direction of the members of the Canal Commission of the state of Ohio and approved by the Chief Engineer of the Department of Public Works (variously referred to as the Board of Public Works and the Division of Public Works). Construction on the Miami and Erie Canal took place between 1825 and 1845, and the finished route connected Cincinnati and Toledo, as well as the Ohio River with Lake Erie. View on Ohio Memory.
