2018 Map of Elmira

About this map

Osceola and the small unincorporated community of Elmira anchor this agricultural landscape in Stark County, where the terrain is deeply defined by the branching waters of the Spoon River. The drainage network includes the W Fork Spoon River, E Fork Spoon River, and Jack Cr, which cut through the level prairie to create localized relief. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds on this sheet: Osceola Cem, Elmira Cem, and the Osceola Grove Cem situated to the east. Further south, near the boundary with Henry and Bureau counties, the village of Modena sits above the Jug Run drainage, while the Allendale Conservation Club Lake provides a notable local landmark. The map documents a classic Midwestern sectional grid, where roads like Saxon Rd and Osceola Rd trace the historical property lines of the Public Land Survey System.
