About this map

Lindsey stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Sandusky County, situated at the intersection of N Main St and W State St. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, with the Portage River winding across the northern boundary and numerous smaller waterways like Wolf Creek, Indian Creek, and Fishing Creek traversing the agricultural grid. This network of creeks and man-made drainage, such as Yauch Ditch, illustrates the reclamation of the region's low-lying terrain for farming.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family-named burial grounds, including the Overmyer Cem, Roose Cem, and Binkley Cem. Small communities like Hessville and Kingsway dot the interior, while the outskirts of Fremont appear in the southeast corner near Cherry Island. The map also captures specific landmarks like the Whitaker Bar and the Faith Lutheran Cem, providing a precise look at the rural social and physical geography of the area.
