About this map

Kalida sits at the heart of this landscape in Putnam County, positioned where the Ottawa River and Plum Creek converge. The area is defined by its agricultural layout and a network of rural watercourses, including Sugar Creek and the Auglaize River in the northwest corner. This 2016 survey documents the small-town footprints and the surrounding township sections, showing the persistence of local settlements like Vaughnsville, Rimer, and Jones City.

For those researching family history in the region, the map is a primary reference for several rural burial grounds scattered across the townships. Many of these sites, such as Saint Michaels Cemetery, Clevenger Cemetery, and Reynolds Cemetery, are tucked along the winding banks of the rivers and creeks. These features, along with the Ottawa River Cemetery, provide precise geographic context for the heritage of these communities.
