2019 Map of Alvada

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Hancock and Seneca counties unfolds across this survey, centered on the unincorporated community of Alvada. This portion of northwest Ohio is defined by a dense grid of township and county roads that navigate the headwaters of the E Br Portage River and The Outlet. Small settlements like West Independence and Springville serve as local anchors, while the Fostoria Reservoir marks the northern edge of the map. For family historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its mapping of numerous local burial sites, including the Wells Family Cem, Enon Valley Cem, and Big Spring Cem. The presence of Diebleys Airport amidst the farm fields reflects the area's continued reliance on local infrastructure for transport and crop management in this late-decade update.
