1960 Map of Marseilles

About this map

The village of Marseilles sits at a sharp bend in Tymochtee Creek, serving as a central point in this rural landscape where Wyandot, Hardin, and Marion counties meet. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by a high density of country churches and family burial grounds, such as York Street Ch and the McKendree Cem. One of the most distinctive historical markers on this 1960 survey is the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, which cuts diagonally across the northern township of Mifflin, reflecting the early 19th-century land divisions of the Congress Lands. Waterways like Little Tymochtee Creek and Pawpaw Run define the drainage patterns through the townships of Goshen and Grand, while local infrastructure is marked by a prominent Pipeline and several named thoroughfares including Wolfe Road and Fail Road.
