2019 Map of Assumption

About this map

Metamora and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Fulton County define this borderland region where Ohio meets Michigan. The area is characterized by a dense network of township roads and drainage systems like Tenmile Cr and Frankfort Ditch, reflecting over a century of land management in the Maumee Lake Plain. Small settlements and historical crossroads like Assumption and Lytton serve as local anchors, while the presence of numerous burial grounds, including Saint Marys Catholic Cem and Amboy Township Cem, provides significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The transition from the rural village of Metamora south toward Dutch Ridge reveals a landscape meticulously organized by the Public Land Survey System, with sectional lines still dictating the path of modern thoroughfares like Us Rte 20.
