2019 Map of Mark Center

About this map

Mark Center and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Defiance County are defined by a dense grid of township and county roads that follow the original Public Land Survey System sections. Small rural settlements like Six Corners, Rosedale, and the eastern edge of Hicksville serve as anchor points across this northwestern Ohio terrain. The area is heavily intersected by the drainage networks of the N Fork Gordon Cr and its various branches, alongside Platter Cr and Lost Creek, which meander through the flat fields. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Lost Creek Cem, Six Corners Cem, Spindler Cem, and Kent Cem, which often represent the earliest established community centers in the township. To the south, Arend Airport stands as a notable modern landmark amidst the traditional farmsteads and creeks that have long dictated the region's development.
