About this map

Bascom and the surrounding township lands of Seneca County are defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and small rural settlements in this 2016 survey. The terrain is etched with numerous named waterways, including Wolf Creek, Muskellunge Creek, and the Stultz Henry Ditch, reflecting a landscape managed for farming. Small communities such as Kansas, Amsden, and Iler serve as local hubs, connected by a rigid grid of country roads like Fostoria Fremont Road and Kansas Road.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites, such as Sand Ridge Cemetery near Bascom and Saint Andrews Cemetery. The eastern edge of Fostoria appears in the west, while the smaller junction of Angus and numerous family-named landmarks, such as the Zion Lutheran Cemetery, provide specific touchpoints for tracing family roots and property boundaries within the historic townships.
