About this map

The Blanchard River meanders through this agricultural landscape of southern Hancock County, centering on the village of Mount Blanchard. The river's path is joined by smaller waterways such as Potato Run, Silver Cr, and Buckrun Cr, which define the drainage patterns of this fertile region. Evidence of early settlement and genealogy is dense across the township lines, with numerous small burial grounds including Riverview Cem, Krout Cem, and the poignantly named Frontiers Repose Cem near Houcktown.

Rural infrastructure is well-documented, from the private Lutz Airport to the small community of Pratts on the eastern edge. The map captures the organized grid of township roads and section lines, interspersed with local landmarks like Elm Grove Cem and Five Points Cem. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, where family-named ditches like Stahl Ditch and Brights Pitch remain critical to the local geography.
