Plan of Camp Meigs and Environs, 1813

Abstract

This reproduction of the plan of Fort Meigs (identified as Camp Meigs) was created by Joseph H. Larwill. The survey was done on July 19, 1813. The map shows Col. Dudley's Battleground, Upper and Lower Sandusky Roads, British Batteries, Indian Hill, and the Maumee River and rapids. Fort Meigs was a strategic fortification along the banks of the Maumee River (identified as Miami River) during the War of 1812, in Perrysburg, Ohio. As of 2023, Fort Meigs is the largest reconstructed wooden-walled fort in the United States. It is also an Ohio Historical Society site as well as a National Historic Landmark
