About this map

Pleasant Township Cemetery and a high concentration of denominational burying grounds define the rural landscape of southern Henry County in this recent survey. The map details a strictly organized grid of township and county roads that link small settlements such as New Bavaria, Pleasant Bend, and Holgate. This layout reflects the enduring agricultural character of the region, where drainage projects like Brinkman Ditch and Gustaviller Ditch have historically supported productive farming across the flat terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the precise locations of numerous local cemeteries, including Old Saint Stephens Lutheran Cemetery and the Sacred Heart Cemetery. The presence of Hiltner Airport south of North Creek indicates the integration of small-scale aviation into the local transport network. The map also clearly delineates the convergence of Henry, Putnam, and Defiance counties, illustrating how these administrative boundaries intersect with natural features like South Powell Creek and School Creek.
