About this map

Bradner and Risingsun anchor this 2019 survey of the Wood and Sandusky County border, showing a landscape defined by its grid of township roads and agricultural drainage. Small clusters of settlement at Woodside, Rollersville, and Wayne are linked by thoroughfares like Defiance Pike and Bowling Green Rd E. For the genealogist and local historian, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including the Saint Jacobs Evangelical Lutheran Cem and the Pember Farm Cem.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by multiple branches of local waterways such as Coon Cr, Sugar Cr, and the Portage River. These streams, often appearing as straightened channels, trace the drainage of the former Black Swamp area into Lake Erie. The map's detailed road network, from S River Rd in the northwest to Hatton in the south, preserves the names of early local families and established township boundaries.
