2016 Map of Marseilles

About this map

Marseilles sits at the intersection of local routes in this pocket of Northwest Ohio, where the headwaters of the Sandusky River basin define the landscape. The village is flanked by the Killdeer Upground Reservoir to the northeast and the small Heilman Airport to the south. This area is particularly notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, illustrating a deeply rooted settlement pattern across the township. Genealogists can find numerous sites including Salem Cem, Bradley Cem, Goodhope Cem, and Shanks Cem. The drainage of the land is meticulously detailed through a network of small runs and creeks, such as Little Tymochtee Creek, Pawpaw Run, and Reevhoff Run, which dictate the placement of the rural road grid and agricultural boundaries.
