About this map

Elgin serves as a focal point in this Western Ohio landscape, situated just north of the Van Wert Mercer County Line Rd. The village is anchored by the Elgin Post Office and surrounded by a network of rural settlements including Converse, Converse Station, and Monticello. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, most notably the meandering Saint Marys River which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Kyle Prairie Creek, Eightmile Creek, and Hussey Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, such as Goodwin Cemetery, Fissel Lauth Cemetery, Hance Cemetery, and the Mount Union Cemetery. The presence of Gallman Farms and numerous county roads like Venedocia Saint Marys Rd and Elgin-Converse Rd reflect the enduring agricultural character of the region. This survey captures the rural infrastructure at a time of established family farms and small-town continuity.
