Maple Grove, OH: Junction Tower: Nickle Plate vs. Pennsy

(Satellite, according to the track diagram, it was in the northwest quadrant.)

This railroad junction did not create a town. That is rather rare.

There is a Maple Grove town in Ohio, but it is in the northeast part. I had to search for a nearby town and pan over to this junction on the USGS map. And I had to get the correct GPS coordinates for the aerial photo repository search. So now I wonder why Google Maps found this junction instead of the town by that name.

I need to remember to check the track diagram rather than get an aerial photo to determine the tower's quadrant. In this case, I ended up using the diagram because two quadrants had buildings.
