1961 Map of Meeker

About this map

Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area dominates the northern landscape of this Wyandot and Marion County border region, characterized by extensive conservation lands and managed water features like the Killdeer Reservoir. The map reflects a highly organized rural landscape defined by the Old Treaty Boundary and an intricate grid of agricultural roads, including the Morral Kirkpatrick Road and Marseilles Galion Road. In the northeast, the village of Harpster sits along the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line, while the settlement of Meeker anchors the south. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Bowsherville Cem, Yoakum Cem, and Frame Cem, many situated near the winding banks of Tymochtee Creek and its tributaries like Enoch Creek and Blood Run.
