2013 Map of Glenmore

About this map

The agricultural landscape of southern Van Wert County is defined by a dense grid of family farms and drainage systems such as Lillick Ditch and Bowen Ditch. Small rural settlements and historic crossroads like Glenmore, Schumm, and Abanaka anchor the township sections, reflecting a community pattern established by 19th-century land grants. The map provides significant genealogical value, noting numerous family-named properties including Gardner Green Farm, Kiehl Farms, and Germann Farms, alongside established local cemeteries. Religious and civic history is represented by sites like the Evangelical Protestant Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Near the eastern margin, the outskirts of Van Wert and the village of Ohio City appear, connected by a network of county roads and the major corridor of Us-224, which cuts through the northern sections near Middlebury.
