1960 Map of New Riegel

About this map

New Riegel sits at the center of this rural Seneca County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding townships of Loudon, Hopewell, Big Spring, and Seneca. The map captures a transition in agricultural land management, highlighted by the diagonal path of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cutting across the western sections. This historic line, alongside a network of section lines and fence rows identified from 1959 aerial photography, illustrates the rigid survey patterns that defined Ohio's Congress Lands.
