About this map

Fireside and West Lodi anchor this portion of Seneca County, where the rural landscape is defined by a high density of nineteenth-century burial grounds and family-named ditches. The area’s genealogical value is significant, with sites such as Underhill Cem, Adams Lutheran Cem, and Thompson Center Cem scattered across the township lines. The terrain is structured by a network of drainage systems including Royer Ditch, Noel Ditch, and Albright Ditch, which supported the agricultural development of this northern Ohio region.

Industrial and transport history is represented by the Bandit Field Airdrome near Emerson Cr, while the small settlement of Cooper sits at the intersection of several county roads. The map provides a look at the modern land use patterns, from the creek beds of Beaver Cr to the southern reaches of Frink Run, illustrating how the early homesteading layout of t3n r17e and surrounding ranges has persisted through the twenty-first century.
