About this map

The village of Middle Point serves as a primary local center in this 2016 survey, where the historic Lincoln Highway and West Railroad Street intersect. This area of Van Wert County is characterized by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as King Cemetery, Horeb Cemetery, and Venedocia Cemetery, which mark the rural landscape between the primary settlements. These cemeteries often indicate the sites of early pioneer congregations and ethnic enclaves.

Waterways like the Little Auglaize River and West Jennings Creek wind through a rectilinear grid of township roads, illustrating the organized agricultural development of western Ohio. To the southeast, Landeck and the village of Venedocia appear as established residential clusters, with Saint Johns Cemetery serving the Landeck community. The map provides a contemporary view of these long-standing rural townships as they appeared in the early 21st century.
