About this map

The Sandusky River carves a path through the eastern portion of this Sandusky County landscape, defining the character of Ballville and the western edge of Fremont. This 2016 survey illustrates the mix of agricultural heritage and modern institutional growth, featuring the sprawling campus of Terra State Community College and the local Fremont Airport. Moving south along the river, the map identifies several historic crossing points and landmarks, most notably the Mull Covered Bridge and the Gilmore Bridge.

Rural intersections such as Havens, Gabels Corner, and Fourmile House Corner reveal the long-standing settlement patterns of the region. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Washington Chapel Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and the clustered plots of Saint Josephs Cemetery and Saint Anns Cemetery near the river. The southern reaches of the map extend toward the village of Bettsville, where East Branch Wolf Creek and Winters Ditch drain the fertile lowlands.
