About this map

The Little Auglaize River meanders across this rural Van Wert County landscape, serving as a central geographic feature for the small agricultural communities of Middle Point and Venedocia. The area is characterized by a precise grid of country roads, including the historically significant Lincoln Hwy, which cuts through the northern portion of the territory near the Middle Point Post Office. This 2010 survey reflects a deeply rooted settlement pattern, where family and community heritage is preserved through numerous local burial sites.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several scattered cemeteries that anchor these rural townships, such as King Cemetery, Horeb Cemetery, and Wright Cemetery. To the southeast, the village of Landeck is home to Saint Johns Cemetery, while Venedocia Cemetery sits just outside its namesake town. The drainage of the land is further defined by West Jennings Creek and Dog Creek, illustrating the intersection of natural waterways and the straight-lined development of Ohio's farming heartland.
