About this map

The Maumee River and Tiffin River converge in the southeastern corner of this survey, defining the industrial and residential heart of Defiance. This junction forms a significant hydrologic hub, further shaped by the Auglaize River and an extensive network of managed drainage like Dowe Ditch and Stevens Ditch. The landscape is a mosaic of agricultural fields and civic institutions, including the Defiance Memorial Airport and the Defiance County Home Cem.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the township, from the large Riverside Cem near the riverbanks to smaller rural plots like Kibble Cem and McCauley Cem. The settlement of Brunersburg sits north of the city, maintaining its distinct identity with its own Brunersburg Cem and residential streets. Cultural and recreational landmarks such as Camp Lacota and the Marysdale Catholic Cem reflect the long-standing community footprint in this part of Northwest Ohio.
