Fort Shawnee

Fort Shawnee lies in the Auglaize River valley in western Ohio, where level agricultural land is broken up by river corridors and small woodland areas. The community stands south of Lima in Allen County, a part of the state defined by rural roads, working farms and dispersed settlements rather than dense urban development. Its name recalls Fort Shawnee, a military post from the War of 1812, when northwestern Ohio was contested frontier territory. The Auglaize corridor remains central to the area’s sense of place and settlement pattern. Move on to other webcams in western Ohio to compare river valleys and rural settings around Fort Shawnee.
