About this map

Leo-Cedarville and Grabill anchor this part of Allen County, where the Saint Joseph River and the Maumee River frame a landscape of organized agriculture and water management. The area is defined by an extensive network of drainage ditches, including Witmer Ditch, Kurtz Ditch, and Reichelderfer Ditch, reflecting the historic effort to master the regional hydrology. The Hurstown Reservoir serves as a prominent landmark north of Grabill, complete with the Hurstown Reservoir walking path and the nearby Hurstown Bridge.

Family and community history is preserved in localized sites such as the Yaggy Cem near Antwerp Road and the Harlan Memorial Cem in the town of Harlan. Farther south, the small settlement of Milan Center sits near the winding banks of the Maumee, where the Platter Bridge and Bull Rapids Bridge provide vital crossings. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century where traditional crossroads like Cuba persist alongside modern water infrastructure.
