2016 Map of Meeker

About this map

The agrarian borderlands of Wyandot and Marion Counties are defined by a sophisticated drainage network and scattered pioneer burial grounds. The settlement of Meeker sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the map, while Brownstown anchors the northwest corner. This landscape is a patchwork of rural township sections where modern water management, seen in the Killdeer Upground Reservoir and Killdeer Wildlife Pond Number Three, overlies the natural winding course of Tymochtee Cr. Local historians and genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community cemeteries, including Hunt Cem, Bowsherville Cem, and Deal Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like the Frame Cem near Meeker, provide a clear record of the families who settled this fertile Ohio territory, even as the landscape shifted from traditional stream-side farming toward large-scale water conservation and grid-based agricultural planning.
