2016 Map of Botkins

About this map

Botkins and Anna anchor this section of West Central Ohio, sitting along a landscape defined by the drainage of Loramie Cr and its numerous tributaries like Hulls Cr and Muddy Cr. The map reveals a dense network of township and county roads that reflect the area’s longstanding agricultural layout, organized into the sections of Shelby and Auglaize counties. Genealogists will find this particular survey especially useful for locating local family burial grounds, as it includes a remarkable number of small, named cemeteries such as Immaculate Conception Cem, New Loramie Valley Cem, and the nearby Old Loramie Valley Cem. The settlement at Rumley remains visible in the west, while the transition between t6s r5e and t7s r6e highlights the systematic land division that has governed the region for generations.
