About this map

The village of Harrod serves as a central point in this landscape of rural Allen County, where the historic Erie Lackawanna rail line cuts across the terrain. Small agricultural hamlets like Westminster and West Newton anchor the local road network, while the Auglaize River and its tributaries, such as Beaver Dam Br and Muchinippi Cr, define the natural drainage of the region.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, including the Hullibarger Cem, Shockley Cem, and Maysville Cem. The map illustrates the convergence of several county boundaries, showing the intersection of Allen, Hardin, and Auglaize counties. This layout documents a long-established pattern of midwestern land divisions and community centers centered around schools, churches, and family-named landmarks like Smith Cem and Ward Cem.
