About this map

Leipsic and its neighboring villages of West Leipsic and Gilboa define the settlement patterns of this agricultural region in Putnam County. The landscape is oriented around a dense network of township roads and several significant waterways, including the Blanchard River and Yellow Cr. For family historians, the area is notably rich in burial grounds, featuring many smaller, named plots such as Sugar Ridge Cem, Maidlow Cem, and the pointedly named Cholera Cem near Gilboa.

The presence of Leipsic Junction and the small siding at Townwood reflects the historical intersection of rail and road commerce that built these communities. Local landmarks like Hovest Farms and the Putnam County Airport appear alongside a grid of numbered sections, illustrating the modern rural character of the county. The map also traces the transition into Hancock County along its eastern boundary, where smaller tributaries like West Cr flow through the farmland.
