About this map

The confluence of the Auglaize River and the Blanchard River defines this northwest Ohio landscape, where agricultural drainage and river bends dictate the placement of small villages. The settlement of Continental serves as a primary hub, complete with its Continental Post Office, while the surrounding terrain is dotted with smaller communities like Dupont, Cloverdale, and Hartsburg.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Monroe Cemetery to the north and the Franconia Cemetery near the riverbanks. The map also captures the smaller crossroads of East Mandale and Mandale along the Little Auglaize River. The grid of rural roads, such as Plank Rd and County Hwy C 205, connects these long-standing farming communities, preserving the 19th-century settlement pattern into the modern era.
