2016 Map of Harrod

About this map

Harrod and Westminster anchor this portion of Allen County, where the agricultural landscape is divided by the meandering Auglaize River and several tributary streams. The area is dense with historical burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research; locations like Fisher Cem, Maysville Cem, and Mount Zion Cem are scattered across the township lines. The transition between Allen, Auglaize, and Hardin counties is marked by a network of rural roads such as Bellfontaine Rd and Amherst Rd that connect the small settlements. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, Muchinippi Cr and Beaverdam Br drain the territory near West Newton, while Little Hog Cr flows through the northeast corner past Maysville. The map captures the enduring rural character and the family-named landmarks that define this pocket of Western Ohio.
