2010 Map of Cridersville

About this map

Cridersville and Fort Shawnee anchor this landscape south of Lima, where the transition from organized suburban blocks to open agricultural land is punctuated by numerous historic burial sites. The area is defined by the winding course of the Ottawa River and the Little Ottawa River, which are managed through infrastructure like the McClintock Lake Dam and the Refinery Reservoir Dam. In the rural western and southern stretches, smaller settlements such as Hume, Oakview, and Kemp appear along a grid of farm-to-market roads, including Wapakoneta Cridersville Rd and Fort Amanda Rd. The presence of several legacy cemeteries, including Wheeler Cemetery and Gethsemane Cemetery, offers significant detail for researchers tracing local family lineages. Large-scale water management projects like the Bresler Upground Reservoir Dam dominate the northwest, contrasting with the leisure space of the Tamarac Golf Course.
