About this map

Grand Lake anchors the northern edge of this Mercer County landscape, where the lakeside communities of Montezuma and Montezuma Acres meet the agricultural heartland. The 2010 survey reveals a dense network of Catholic heritage and rural settlements, with Carthagena and Cassella serving as central points for local commerce and faith. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Saint Aloysius Catholic Cemetery and the Saint Rose Catholic Cemetery, which document the generations of families that established these farming townships.

Transportation and infrastructure are defined by a grid of rural roads like Siegrist Jutte Rd and the presence of Lakefield Airport near the shoreline. The drainage of the land is meticulously mapped through several watercourses, such as Beaver Creek and Prairie Creek, which flow through the open fields toward the lake. From the outskirts of Coldwater in the west to the small crossroads of Saint Rosa in the east, the map provides a clear picture of a contemporary Ohio community deeply rooted in its territorial layout and parochial history.
