2009 Map of Geneva

About this map

Geneva serves as the focal point of this western Allen County landscape, situated amidst a grid of rural roads named for distant states and various numeric designations. The settlement pattern here reflects the organized agricultural expansion typical of the region, where family farms are bounded by thoroughfares like Virginia Rd and West Virginia Rd. Local history is anchored by the Geneva Cemetery and the Old Carlyle Cemetery, which provide vital touchstones for genealogical research in the area. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage of several waterways, including Little Indian Creek, Indian Creek, Martin Creek, and Carlyle Creek, which wind through the agricultural sections and break up the rigid lines of the public land survey system.
