About this map

Tymochtee Creek and Little Tymochtee Creek carve a winding course through this rural Ohio landscape, where the town of Marseilles serves as a central hub. The map reveals a deeply rooted agrarian community across the townships of Goshen, Jackson, and Mifflin, defined by a network of family and community landmarks. One of the most significant historical markers is the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, which cuts across the northern landscape near Bud Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Stansbery Cem, Goodhope Cem, and McKendree Cem, often located near crossroads or small watercourses like Pawpaw Run. The area's early industry is represented by a small Quarry and the Reservoir at Marseilles, reflecting the ongoing management of the local water resources and limestone deposits within the Wyandot, Hardin, and Marion county borderlands.
