About this map

Dunkirk and its surrounding townships in Hardin and Hancock counties are defined by a strictly organized grid of rural roads and drainage infrastructure. This agricultural landscape is bisected by the north-south corridor of Route 68, which connects the villages of Williamstown and Dunkirk. The map reveals the intricate water management system necessary for this region's productivity, including the Hydraulic Ditch, Woodruff Ditch, and Flat Br drainage ways that supplement natural streams like Eagle Cr and Ottawa Cr.

Genealogists will find several local burial grounds well-documented across the townships, including Dola Cem near the settlement of Dola, as well as Eagle Creek Cem and Williamstown Cem. The transition from the rural village of New Stark in the west to the more developed street plan of Dunkirk in the southeast illustrates the varying scales of community development within this portion of Northwest Ohio.
