2013 Map of New Riegel

About this map

New Riegel sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section roads and township lines in this portion of Seneca County. The agricultural landscape is punctuated by several small hamlets, including Frenchtown, Berwick, and Adrian, which reflect the early settlement patterns of the region. A notable concentration of religious and genealogical sites is evident, from Saint Boniface Cem in New Riegel to the Jerusalem Cem further east. The drainage of these flat farm lands is managed by an intricate network of ditches and creeks, such as E Br Wolf Cr and Eicher Ditch, which feed into larger water systems. To the west of Frenchtown, the Greenwich Reservoir provides a localized water source, while McCutchenville appears at the southern edge of the survey area. This record provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, showing how modern county roads like Co Road 10 follow the historic township and range boundaries established long ago.
