About this map

The Saint Joseph River meanders through this portion of Williams County, shaping a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and established local landmarks. The village of Blakeslee serves as the primary settlement, situated near the Marvin Thiel Field Airport. This corner of Ohio maintains a dense network of country roads, such as Co Road H and Co Road 6, which connect scattered residential clusters and various historical burial grounds.

Genealogists will find several notable cemeteries documenting the area's heritage, including Saint Joseph Cem, Union Chapel Cem, and W Buffalo Cem. The terrain is further etched by numerous waterways like Eagle Cr, Bear Cr, and the Tamarack Ditch, which drain the fields surrounding the hamlet of Union Corners. Recreation is represented by Browns Recreation Lake, providing a contrast to the geometric grid of the township's section lines.
