2019 Map of Glenmore

About this map

Glenmore and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Van Wert County are defined by a meticulous grid of township roads and drainage ditches in this modern-era study. The settlement pattern remains centered on small hamlets like Schumm, Abanaka, and the ironically named Dull, reflecting the area's deep roots in the rural Midwest. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the township, from the Evangelical Protestant Cem near the center of the quadrangle to the Glenn Cem and Balyeat Cem in the north. Waterways such as Hoaglin Cr and Maddox Cr meander through the landscape, frequently diverted or supplemented by engineered works like Lillick Ditch and Bowen Ditch to manage the fertile terrain. To the southeast, the larger community of Ohio City stands at the junction of several local routes, including Willshire Ohio City Rd, maintaining its role as a local hub amidst the vast stretches of farmland.
