2016 Map of Ceres

About this map

Ceres serves as the focal point for this Noble County landscape, where the rural grid is defined by a complex network of water management and local cemeteries. The terrain is notably marked by numerous flood control structures along Red Rock Cr and its tributaries, including Upper Red Rock Cr Site 1 Reservoir and Lower Red Rock Cr Site 16 Reservoir. These man-made features overlay an older pattern of settlement evidenced by historic burial grounds such as Bohemian Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and the Ceres Cem. To the south, the Perry Municipal Airport occupies a significant tract of land, while the section-line road system, including Pioneer and Valley Rd, continues to anchor the agricultural community. The map provides a clear look at how drainage basins like Hackberry Cr and Grassy Cr have been engineered to support the surrounding plains.
