About this map

The Tiffin River meanders through this agricultural landscape at the border of Williams and Defiance counties, anchoring a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Evansport sits along the river's eastern bank, marked by its post office and nearby burial grounds, including the Old Evansport Cem and Evansport Cem. Northward, the landscape transitions through the communities of Wilna and Shaffers Acres toward the outskirts of Stryker.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of historical markers, particularly cemeteries such as Boynton Cem and Beaver Creek Cem. The surveyor's notes identify specific agricultural interests like Sloan Farms and Coy Farms, while water features like Beaver Cr and Prairie Cr define the local topography. Further south, the distinction between the Old Saint Johns Methodist Cem and New Saint Johns Methodist Cem provides a specific chronological record for those tracing regional family lineages.
