Dr Jacob Heck talks about Monroe County's unique history when it comes to its land divisions - and its southern boundary. In this presentation, we will look at the map and discuss the history of surveys in the county, including the original French private claims, the Public Land Survey System, and geodetic surveys. In addition, we will talk about the Michigan - Ohio state line and the county's role in the infamous 1835 Toledo War.
