About this map

The agricultural landscape of northwestern Ohio and southern Michigan is defined by its rectilinear road grid and the winding paths of several creeks. Fayette serves as the central hub, home to the Fayette Post Office and Pleasant View Cemetery. This 2011 survey captures the rural character of the region, where small unincorporated settlements like Munson and Powers mark intersections and historic transit points. A network of waterways, including Spring Creek, Deer Creek, and Bean Creek, cuts across the orderly townships, creating natural breaks in the farmed acreage.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several burial grounds that punctuate the countryside, such as County Line Cemetery on the northern border and the Woodworth Cemetery and Goss Cemetery cluster to the east. Recreational and aviation land uses are evident through Harrison Lake and Camp Palmer in the southwest corner, as well as the Mundron Field Airport near the western edge. The map provides a contemporary view of this borderland, showing the persistent influence of drainage and early township planning on modern settlement patterns.
