2016 Map of Elmore

About this map

The Portage River winds through this Northwest Ohio landscape, anchoring the historic communities of Woodville, Elmore, and Gibsonburg. This 2016 survey captures the area’s deep-rooted agricultural and civic layout, notably the concentration of cemeteries such as Veterans Memorial Cem, Union Cem, and Saint Lawrence Cem that serve as vital touchstones for family history researchers. Large-scale industrial quarrying operations are evident on the outskirts of Woodville, contrasting with the surrounding rural townships. The map details a transition from the village centers to the outlying crossroads, including the aptly named Busy Corners and the local aviation history represented by Haar Airport. Numerous watercourses, from Wolf Cr to Sugar Creek, define the drainage patterns across the Sandusky and Ottawa county line.
