Ohio
county boundaries in 1814: Map Work
Notice how the lands of the Ohio Northwest
were under treaties with the Native Americans.
Using a present day map of Ohio, fill-in
the major rivers and forts in the North West.
Create an enlarged Ohio map locating Fort
Meigs on the Maumee River, Fort Stephenson,
Fort Seneca, Fort Ball on the Sandusky River
and the Lake Erie Islands where the naval
battle with Oliver Hazard Perry will take
place. Trace the route the armies would have
taken in the Ohio conflicts. Be sure to include
a compass rose, key and title! Label all
rivers and forts.
