  • Welcome to the 2019 Edition of the GOBA Digest! the Intent of This
    elcome to the 2019 edition of the GOBA Digest! The intent of this publication is to highlight historical, unusual, and otherwise interesting places, people, and things as you ride the Great WOhio Bicycle Adventure. Before diving in, a quick history of the digest itself: In 1991, Tom Barlow, the original Event Director had included a bit of information about the days’ routes along the map margins. An “anonymous” commenter said they enjoyed the information but craved more. Tom recognized the commenter’s handwriting as belonging to Julie Schmitt and he recruited her to do to first “Global GOBA”. Julie Schmitt has been the author of the digest ever since then. Julie says, “Since the Ohio Department of Development had given seed money to help jump start GOBA and the goal was to feature the smaller communities in Ohio, it was only natural to try a get a bit more intimate with the landscape. As a new rider, and an Ohio skeptic (I loved Wild, Wonderful West Virginia with its white water rivers and stunning mountains), GOBA really helped me foster a love for Ohio and I feel like I am now one of its most fierce champions.” Julie continued: “I have seen the decline in Ohio’s small towns from lack of employment, and changing farming practices. Gone are the smaller farms and along with that, the fence rows that fos- tered a number of plant and animal species, broke up the landscape and may have helped to moder- ate daily temperatures. Now we have to frequently seek shelter on GOBA from heavy rains and strong winds.” The Digest, like the tradition of GOBA itself, is one that is cherished by all riders.

Crisman The Great Lakes side-wheel steamboat Anthony Wayne was built in 1837 at Perrysburg, OH and participated in lakes shipping during a time when such vessels were experiencing their heyday. Designed as a passenger and cargo carrier, the steamer spent 13 years transporting goods and people throughout the Upper Lakes until succumbing to a boiler explosion while headed to Buffalo on 28 April 1850. The remains of Anthony Wayne were discovered in 2006 and two years later a collaborative project was begun for the purposes of documenting and assessing the present day condition of the wreck.

  • Section 2: County Profile
    Section 2: County Profile Location Lucas County encompasses 343.43 square miles at the western tip of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio, bordering the southern boundary of the State of Michigan. (Figure 1) It was named for Governor Robert Lucas, who declared war on Michigan over a boundary dispute in 1835. When Ohio was admitted to the Union, no reference was made to its northern boundary. Both Ohio and Michigan claimed this western corner of Lake Erie. In 1836, the so called “Toledo War” was settled by the U.S. Congress, giving the disputed area to the State of Ohio. Interstate 80/90, US 20, and State Routes 2 and 64 cross the County east - west, and Interstate 75, US 23 and 24, and State Routes 51 and 295 run north - south. The Ottawa and Maumee Rivers flow through Lucas County. Toledo, the County seat, covers about 86 square miles of the County. The Port of Toledo provides access to both international and Great Lakes ports. Lucas County’s central location provides unparalleled access to major Midwest cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, St. Louis, Buffalo and Toronto. Over 93 million people live within a 500-mile radius of northwest Ohio, which comprises 38% of the US population and about 37% of US retail sales (Figure 2). According to the Lucas County Auditor’s Office, land use in Lucas County can be categorized as follows: Residential (72.8%), Commercial (22.1%), Industrial (3.95%), and Agricultural (1.2%). Due to its location on the west side of Lake Erie, the region enjoys the temperate effects from the Lake, while being spared the lake-effect winter weather often associated with the Great Lakes region.

  • Lucas County
    Established: June 20, 1835 County Seat: City of Toledo 2010 Population: 441,815 2020 Projection: 430,450 Land Area and Rank: 340.4 square miles, 85 of 88 Miles of Coast: 25 miles Number of Primary Access Sites: 9 Number of Right-of-Way Sites: 19 Miles of Publicly Accessible Coast: 9.1 miles* Lucas County Lucas County, Ohio’s westernmost coastal county, is adjacent to Fulton, Henry, Wood and Ottawa counties. Lenawee and Monroe counties in Michigan are to the northwest and northeast, respectively. Lucas County has a combined 25 miles of Lake Erie and Maumee Bay shore. Maumee Bay is generally defined as the portion of Lake Erie between Woodtick Peninsula in Michigan and Cedar Point in Jerusalem Township. Lucas County is named after Ohio’s twelfth governor, Robert Lucas. On August 20, 1794, the Battle of Fallen Timbers was fought in the present-day city of Maumee. It was the final and decisive battle of the Northwest Indian War. The Legion of the United States, led by General “Mad” Anthony Wayne, quickly defeated an allied confederacy of Native American forces led by Chief Blue Jacket of the Shawnee tribe and Chief Little Turtle of the Miami tribe. The American victory ended hostilities in the region and led to the signing of the Treaty of Greenville (1795), a peace treaty that opened up much of eastern and southern Ohio to American settlement. The northern tier of Lucas, Fulton and Williams counties, known as the “Toledo Strip,” was originally claimed by both Ohio and Michigan. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established the boundary between the Ohio and Michigan territories as an east-west bearing line extending from the southern point of Lake Michigan to Lake Erie.

  • Indiana Forest Legacy Assessment of Need
    Indiana Forest Legacy Program ASSESSMENT OF NEED Final Report December 1998 Revision January 2020 i i Introduction to Indiana Forest Legacy Program AON 2019 Revision The US Forest Service required that the Forest Legacy Assessment of Need (AON) be included in the 2020 Indiana Forest Action Plan either by integration into the document or as an addendum. The Division of Forestry chose to addendum option. The Division of Forestry took the opportunity to revise the AON. The purpose of the revision was not to make major modification to the AON, but update the AON to reflect the program changes that have occurred since the original 1998 AON: • In 2004, an expansion to the Shawnee Hills / Highland Rim Forest Legacy Area was approved. • The program application and evaluation forms are modified from time to time. For this reason they have been removed from Appendix B and replaced with directions to contact the Indiana Forest Legacy Program Manager for current versions. In addition, document was reformatted and typographical and grammatical errors were corrected. i ii iii Table of Contents Introduction to Indiana Forest Legacy Program AON 2019 Revision .......................................................... i Forest Service Forest Legacy Program Acceptance Letter .......................................................................... ii State of Purpose .......................................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents .......................................................................................................................................
