About this map

The small community of Ceres sits in the northern section of this Noble County survey, serving as a quiet focal point for a landscape defined by water management and rural cemeteries. The area is heavily marked by flood control structures, including the Upper Red Rock Cr Site 1 Reservoir and numerous other numbered reservoirs that dot the tributaries of Red Rock Cr. These man-made lakes follow the winding paths of Hackberry Cr and Grassy Cr, illustrating the hydrological planning essential to this agricultural region.

Local history is preserved in the placement of several burial grounds, such as Ceres Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and the Bohemian Cem, which reflect the area's ancestral settlement patterns. The southern reaches of the map show the transition toward more modern infrastructure near the Perry Municipal Airport, while landmarks like the Ute Bluff offer a natural counterpoint to the straight-line grid of the county road system.
