About this map

The agrarian landscape of northwest Ohio is documented here at the convergence of three counties, where the crossroads communities of Ayersville, Arthur, and Rice serve as local anchors. This region is characterized by its organized section lines and a drainage network that includes the winding Powell Cr and its tributaries, N Powell Cr and Hogback Run. The map provides significant detail for family historians, noting numerous small burial grounds such as Taylor Cem, Ice Cem, and Mount Zion Cem that dot the countryside.

Transportation is defined by a rigid grid of township and county roads, occasionally interrupted by the diagonal path of S State Rte 66 and the small airfield at Blevins Airport. The map clearly delineates the complex administrative boundaries where the Defiance-Paulding and Defiance-Putnam county lines meet, reflecting the enduring 19th-century land survey system that still dictates the modern rural footprint.
