About this map

The village of Continental serves as the primary hub in this corner of northwest Ohio, where the grid-like road system of Monroe Township meets the winding paths of the local waterways. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Blanchard River and the Auglaize River, creating a network of riparian corridors that cut through the surrounding agricultural plains. This survey provides a modern look at established rural settlements including Dupont, Cloverdale, and Oakwood, documenting the contemporary street layouts of these small communities.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of rural burial sites, such as Prairie Chapel Cem, New Bethany Cem, and Franconia Cem, many of which sit near the riverbanks. The survey also captures the boundary between Paulding Co and Putnam Co, showing how the political geography aligns with the regional drainage, including the paths of Prairie Cr and the Little Auglaize River.
