About this map

Fostoria serves as the focal point of this Northwest Ohio survey, where the borders of Wood, Seneca, and Hancock Counties converge. The city's street grid is densely developed around the central post office, showing the transition from the historic core to industrial and residential outskirts. Several small water bodies, including Lamberjack Lake, Mosier Lake, and Daugherty Lake, dot the landscape near the E Br Portage River, reflecting the local drainage patterns and post-industrial land use in this flat terrain.

Agricultural heritage is evident in the smaller settlements of West Millgrove, Perry Center, and Longley, each surrounded by a meticulous network of township roads. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, from the large Fountain Cem and Saint Wendelin Cem in the city to rural sites like Dysinger Cem, Perry Center Cem, and West Millgrove Cem. The Fostoria Metropolitan Airport at the eastern edge of town highlights the modern transportation infrastructure serving the region.
