About this map

The village of Convoy sits as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape of Van Wert County, where rural life is defined by a dense grid of township roads and several significant watercourses. This modern survey illustrates the enduring spatial organization of the region, anchored by the Po and Township Cem in town. The surrounding countryside is dotted with historical markers of early settlement, such as Sugar Ridge Cem to the north and the dual sites of Redeemer Lutheran Cem and Saint Johns Cem to the south.

Water management and drainage are prominent features, with a network of creeks including Blue Cr, Middle Cr, and the descriptively named Monkey Run carving through the township sections. Further east, the small settlement of Richey appears near the intersection of the Co HWY 168 and the Lincoln Highway corridor, marking a secondary point of activity in an area otherwise characterized by steady agricultural use.
