A volume from the Center for Ghost Town Research in Ohio, focused specifically on Paulding County’s ghost towns — settlements that were founded, grew, and then declined or disappeared entirely, including former canal-era villages like Junction. Includes reproductions of plat maps for vanished towns (Hedges, Mandale, McGill, Newberg, Roselms, Tipton, Worstville, and others) sourced from an 1917 Atlas of Paulding County by Geo. A. Ogle & Co., plus period railroad and township maps covering the county.

See the full PDF for the town-by-town detail; not individually transcribed here yet. See also A Town by Any Other Name: Worstville, Ohio for a closer look at one of these vanished settlements.
