2023 Map of Miller City

About this map

Miller City and the surrounding farmland of Putnam County are defined by a rhythmic grid of township roads and the winding course of the Blanchard River. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape of small agricultural settlements, including Kieferville, Cuba, and Croswell, many of which grew around early rail or road junctions. Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family and parish burial grounds recorded here, such as the Asa Varner Cem, Varner Cem, and Saint Isidore Cem. The drainage patterns of North Powell Creek and South Powell Creek speak to the engineering required to manage the flat, productive terrain of Northwest Ohio, visible in features like the Miller City Cutoff which alters the natural flow of the local creek system.
