2023 Map of Genoa

About this map

The village of Genoa anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated near the boundary between Ottawa and Sandusky counties. The area is characterized by a series of small rural settlements including Williston, Clay Center, and Graytown, connected by a grid of agricultural roads and long-standing township lines. Waterways like Packer Creek and the meandering Toussaint Creek drain the flat lowlands toward Lake Erie, influencing the layout of local cemeteries such as the Elliston Cem and Williston Cem. Small-scale aviation is a distinct local feature, represented by both the Toussaint Airpark and the Bea-D Airport. This contemporary survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of northern Ohio, where the distribution of crossroads communities like Blackberry Corner and Grodis Corner remains largely unchanged since the early days of settlement.
