2016 Map of McClure

About this map

McClure anchors this agricultural landscape in Henry County, where the township grid is deeply etched by a network of drainage and historic county roads. The terrain is defined by the subtle eastward flow of Beaver Cr and its tributaries, including Little Beaver Cr and Hammer Cr, which wind through the flat farmland. Small, localized pockets of history are preserved in several rural cemeteries such as Richfield Cem and Angell Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of Damascus Township. Further south, the community of Westhope and landmarks like Peace Church and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem demonstrate the long-standing social and religious centers of this rural Ohio region. The map also captures the clear demarcation of the Henry and Wood county line, illustrating how administrative boundaries bisect the natural and man-made features of the Black Swamp area.
