2019 Map of Bluffton

About this map

The village of Bluffton and its neighboring settlement Pandora anchor this 2019 survey, illustrating the deep Mennonite heritage and collegiate character of this corner of Ohio. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Riley Creek and its many tributaries, including Cranberry Run and Dutch Run. A remarkable concentration of historic burial grounds, such as the Old Mennonite Cem, Johme Mennonite Cem, and Reformed Mennonite Cem, provides a detailed geographic record for genealogists. The presence of Bluffton University near the banks of Buckeye Lake and Bluffton College Lake underscores the educational and institutional growth in the region. Outside the village centers, the map shows a highly organized grid of township roads and agricultural drainage features like Basinger Ditch and Homer Green Ditch, while the Ohio Dusting Co Inc Airport points to the area's specialized aerial agricultural services.
