Saint Marys River meanders across this landscape, defining the topography of central Mercer County near the village of Mendon. The area is characterized by an extensive network of agricultural drainage, including Ayre Ditch, Frisinger Ditch, and Twelvemile Creek, which illustrate the long-term transformation of the Great Black Swamp into productive Ohio farmland. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its high density of family-named burial grounds, such as Frysinger Cem, Mount Olive Cem, and Tomlinson Cem. The settlement of Tama sits in the southwestern portion of the sheet, while major transportation corridors like Us Rte 127 and Us Rte 33 intersect the grid of township and county roads. This survey provides a precise view of rural infrastructure and land management in the early twenty-first century.
