2016 Map of Centerton

About this map

Honey Cr and its tributaries, including Brokenknife Cr and Hooper Ditch, define the drainage of this agricultural landscape along the boundary of Seneca and Huron Counties. The small settlements of Centerton and Omar anchor the region, which is marked by a systematic grid of township roads and section lines typical of the Old Northwest. This 2016 survey illustrates a community deeply connected to its local history through a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Bethel Cem, Bullhead Cem, and the appropriately named Swamp Cem. To the southeast, the New Haven Marsh indicates the low-lying, poorly drained nature of the terrain that necessitated the extensive network of ditches like Schaaf Ditch. The presence of the B & O Railroad Pond 1026-001 near the intersection of Us Rte 224 and Liberty RD highlights the industrial and transportation infrastructure that has long supported the area's farming economy.
