2016 Map of Helena

About this map

Gibsonburg and Helena anchor this agricultural region of northwestern Ohio where the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and drainage features. The map illustrates how the rural economy is tied to the local water systems, including Flechtner Ditch and Gries Ditch, which channel water toward Muddy Cr. This 2016 survey captures the precise layout of several small communities like Millersville, Tinney, and Burgoon, providing a clear look at their modern footprints. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller rural burial sites, including Metzgar Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Quinshan Cem. The transition from Sandusky County into Seneca County is visible at the southern edge near Squires, showing how these long-standing political boundaries intersect with the natural flow of Muskellunge Cr.
