2019 Map of Botkins

About this map

Loramie Creek and its various tributaries, such as Hulls Cr and Muddy Cr, define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape spanning the border of Auglaize and Shelby Counties. The village of Botkins sits near the northern boundary, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural region. Further south, the town of Anna is established along the highway corridor, while the small settlement of Rumley occupies the western reaches. This 2019 survey documents a landscape heavily influenced by drainage engineering, as evidenced by named features like Keppler Ditch, Esty Ditch, and White Feather Ditch. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, ranging from church-affiliated grounds like Immaculate Conception Cem and Saint Lawrence Cem to several family and historic plots including Collins Cem, Redman Cem, and both the Old Loramie Valley Cem and its newer counterpart.
