2010 Map of Bascom

About this map

Bascom and Kansas anchor this Seneca County landscape, reflecting the agricultural and small-town character of northwest Ohio in the early 21st century. The map details a transition from the compact settlement at Bascom, situated near the confluence of Eicher Ditch and the East Branch Wolf Creek, to the smaller hamlets of Amsden, Iler, and Angus. A complex drainage network defines the rural economy here, featuring named waterways like Plum Run, Wolf Creek, and several ditches including Sherger Ditch and Lynch Ditch. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, ranging from Liberty Cemetery in the north to Sand Ridge Cemetery and Saint Andrews Cemetery further south, alongside established landmarks such as the Amsden Post Office.
