2016 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

Sherman Township and the surrounding countryside of the Ohio agricultural belt are defined here by a network of crossroads settlements and historic parish grounds. The landscape is oriented along the Seneca Co Huron Co line, where the village of Frank and the community of Reedtown sit just west of the boundary. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries and religious sites, such as Saint Sebastian Catholic Cem and Saint Michaels Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in these long-established farming communities. Water management is a critical feature of this terrain, evidenced by the presence of Bellevue Reservoir Number Five and a system of drainage including Hayward Ditch and the winding course of Frink Run. The layout of local roads like Old Military Rd and Huron-Seneca Co Line Rd provides a look at the historical transit patterns that connected these hamlets.
