2023 Map of Hamler

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Henry and Putnam counties is defined by a complex network of man-made and natural drainage, necessary for the fertile but low-lying plains of Northwest Ohio. Hamler serves as the primary hub, where N Marion St and Belton St intersect near the village center. The surrounding rural sections are dotted with significant sites for local history and genealogy, including Saint Pauls Cem to the north and Marion Township Cem located centrally. The map reveals the intricate engineering of the land through features like Gustwiller Ditch and Mess Ditch, which work alongside natural waterways like South Turkeyfoot Creek and Beaver Creek to manage the region's water. Smaller crossroads settlements such as Gallup and Prentiss anchor the southern reaches of the township, while the edge of Holgate appears in the northwest corner, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of this farming heartland.
