2019 Map of Lindsey

About this map

The Portage River and its complex network of tributaries, including Sugar Creek and Wolf Cr, dominate this section of the Northwest Ohio landscape along the boundary of Ottawa and Sandusky Counties. The village of Lindsey serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller settlements like Hessville and Kingsway. The map reveals a dense agricultural and drainage history through features like Yauch Ditch and Cottonwood Swale, which illustrate how the land was managed to support farming in the former Great Black Swamp region. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the landscape, ranging from the Lindsey Cem in town to rural locations such as Roose Cem and Binkley Cem. The presence of Saint Pauls Cem and several family-named landmarks provides a clear view of the area's established community roots and nineteenth-century settlement patterns.
