2013 Map of Mount Blanchard

About this map

The Blanchard River carves a winding path through this corner of Hancock County, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the village of Mount Blanchard. This early 21st-century documentation illustrates a landscape dominated by agriculture and small-town residency, where the rectilinear grid of township roads connects long-standing family farms. Of particular note for genealogists is the high density of burial grounds, including the curiously named Frontiers Repose Cem and the Five Points Cem near Pratts. Smaller water features like Buckrun Cr and Potato Run crisscross the farmland, while the presence of Lutz Airport north of Houcktown suggests the persistent role of local aviation in this rural corridor. The map provides a clear picture of the boundary between the townships and the adjacent Wyandot County line, capturing the stable settlement patterns of central Ohio.
