2019 Map of Hoagland

About this map

Monroeville and Hoagland anchor this agricultural landscape in southeastern Allen County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems such as Hoffman Lepper Ditch and Ellison Ditch. The map illustrates a highly managed rural environment, where natural waterways like the Saint Marys River are supplemented by dozens of engineered drains to support the flat farmland. Small, historically significant points of settlement like Boston Corner and Williams sit at the intersections of a rigid grid of county roads. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Lutheran Flat Rock Cem and the Brown Family Cem, providing precise locations for family history research. Modern recreational use is represented by the Heritage Snowmobile Trail (Snow), which threads through the fields and along section lines.
