About this map

New Riegel stands as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Seneca County, characterized by a dense network of township and county roads that carve the terrain into neat geometric sections. The importance of local heritage is evident in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the area, including Saint Boniface Cemetery near the village center and the Seneca Memory Gardens to the northeast. These sites, along with Frenchtown Cemetery and Reisz Cemetery, provide valuable anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Ohio.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the region, where natural runs like Thorn Run and Poverty Run are supplemented by an extensive system of man-made drainage, including Eicher Ditch and Staub Ditch. The presence of the Greenwich Reservoir Dam near Frenchtown and the scattered hamlets of Berwick and Adrian illustrate a rural community structured around small-scale infrastructure and proximity to the various branches of Wolf Creek.
