Ohio Canal Plat Map Collection
Description: Plat map showing Loramie Reservoir (now Lake Loramie) in Auglaize and Shelby County, Ohio. The southwest edge of the reservoir connects via a feeder to the nearby Miami and Erie Canal. Roads, properties, islands and other landmarks along the route are noted, and a brief description of the reservoir is provided. 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.
