2010 Map of Fireside

About this map

Fireside and the surrounding Thompson Township countryside appear here as a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and a dense network of early burial grounds. The map captures the quiet intersection of small settlements like West Lodi and Cooper with the drainage patterns of Emerson Creek and Beaver Creek. A notable modern landmark, the Bandit Field Airdrome, sits just north of County Road 32, contrasting with the many historic family and community plots that dot the area. For those researching local lineages, the distribution of sites like Thompson Center Cemetery, Adams Lutheran Cemetery, and Underhill Cemetery provides a clear spatial record of early settlement clusters. The drainage system, featuring hand-cut waterways like Royer Ditch and Albright Ditch, reflects the engineering required to manage this flat section of Seneca County for productive farming.
