About this map

The unincorporated community of Bascom anchors the southern portion of this Seneca County landscape, situated where local roads converge near the banks of E Br Wolf Cr. The region is defined by an extensive network of drainage features and small waterways, including Plum Run, Sherger Ditch, and Lynch Ditch, which support the surrounding agricultural fields. Small hamlets such as Kansas, Iler, and Angus are scattered throughout the territory, linked by historic routes like Fostoria Fremont Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Saint Andrews Cem, Zion Lutheran Cem, and the Null Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like the local Post Office in Kansas, indicate long-established family homesteads and the enduring community structure of this part of northern Ohio. The map illustrates a grid of township and county roads that reflect the systematic settlement patterns of the Midwest.
