The Great Black Swamp (also known simply as the Black Swamp) was a glacially fed wetland in northwest Ohio, sections of lower Michigan, and extreme northeast Indiana, United States, that existed from the end of the Wisconsin glaciation until the late 19th century. Comprising extensive swamps and marshes, with some higher, drier ground interspersed, it occupied what was formerly the southwestern part of proglacial Lake Maumee, a Holocene precursor to Lake Erie. The area was about 25 miles (40 km) wide (north to south) and 100 miles (160 km) long, covering an estimated 1,500 square miles (4,000 km2). Gradually drained and settled in the second half of the 19th century, it is now highly productive farmland. However, this development has been detrimental to the ecosystem as a result of agricul

  • Der Great Black Swamp war ein Sumpf im Nordwesten von Ohio und Indiana, Vereinigte Staaten. Er erstreckte sich im Einzugsgebiet des Maumee River vom Eriesee bis Fort Wayne in Indiana und war etwa 190 Kilometer lang (Ost-West-Richtung) und etwa 65 Kilometer breit (Nord-Süd-Richtung). Der Sumpf bedeckte ganz oder teilweise die Oberfläche von zwölf Countys in Ohio. (de)

  • La grande palude nera, o semplicemente palude nera, è stato un territorio paludoso formato da un ghiacciaio situato nell'Ohio nord-occidentale, Stato degli Stati Uniti d'America, che si estendeva fino all'Indiana, presente dalla glaciazione Würm alla fine del XIX secolo. Il territorio era costituito da ampi territori umidi e paludosi interrotti per piccoli periodi da pochi spazi secchi, e occupava gran parte l'alveo di quello che è oggi il fiume di origine glaciale Maumee, fino alla sua foce nella Baia di Maumee, nel lago Erie. Tutto il territorio fu prosciugato dall'uomo nella seconda metà del XIX secolo e reso abitabile. Oggi sono sorte molte fattorie. (it)
  • O Grande Pântano Negro, ou simplesmente Pântano Negro (em inglês: Great Black Swamp ou Black Swamp) era um território pantanoso formado por um glaciar localizado no noroeste do Ohio, Estados Unidos da América, que se estendia até ao Indiana, que existiu entre o final da glaciação do Wisconsin e o final do século XIX. O território consistia em grandes territórios húmidos e pantanosos interrompidos por pequenos períodos por alguns espaços secos, e ocupava grande parte do que é hoje o rio glaciar Maumee, até à sua foz na , no Lago Erie. Todo o território foi drenado pelo homem na segunda metade do século XIX e tornou-se habitável. Hoje em dia muitas quintas surgiram no que era este pântano. (pt)
