About this map

The Saint Marys River winds through the southwestern corner of this landscape, a region defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems. The small community of Hoagland serves as a local hub, situated near the intersection of several county roads and the Gressley Ditch. The map illustrates the transition from the structured township grids of Allen County into Adams County to the south.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial sites, including Massilon Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem, which are tucked among the fields and farmsteads. The importance of water management to the local economy is evident in the numerous named waterways such as Hoffman Ditch, Bohnke Ditch, and Weber Ditch. Other notable landmarks include the Valhalla Airport in the north and small settlements like Boston Corner and Williams that anchor the rural road network.
