2010 Map of Kalida

About this map

Kalida and Vaughnsville anchor this rural landscape in Putnam County, where the meandering Ottawa River and its tributaries define the local geography. The river system, including Sugar Creek and Plum Creek, winds through a grid of section-line roads, illustrating the systematic agricultural development of northwest Ohio. This survey serves as a census of local genealogy, documenting numerous burial grounds such as the Saint Michaels Cemetery near the village center and more isolated sites like the Ottawa River Cemetery and Keirns Cemetery. Small rural clusters like Rimer, Seitz, and Jones City appear along the southern transit corridors, while the presence of the Kalida Post Office and Vaughnsville Post Office marks the primary hubs of commerce and community for the surrounding farmsteads.
