2023 Map of Bradner

About this map

Agricultural fields and small village centers define this portion of Northwest Ohio, where the borders of Wood, Sandusky, and Seneca counties converge. The village of Bradner serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller settlements like Wayne, Risingsun, and the riverside hamlet of Woodside. The landscape is etched by a drainage network flowing toward Lake Erie, including the winding Portage River in the northwest and several tributaries such as Sugar Creek and Coon Creek. Local history and genealogy are preserved in rural burial grounds like the Pember Farm Cem and Graham Cem, while the orthogonal road grid—marked by names like Defiance Pike and Fostoria Rd—reflects the systematic township and range surveying of the Old Northwest. This modern survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, where legacy farmsteads remain connected to long-established crossroads like Rollersville and Hatton.
