1960 Map of New Riegel

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this Seneca County landscape, a permanent mark of historical land division that persists through modern surveying. Centered on the village of New Riegel, the area is defined by a traditional Midwestern agricultural grid, punctuated by small clusters of settlement like Frenchtown and Berwick. The northern half of the map is dominated by the townships of Loudon and Hopewell, where the meandering courses of Wolf Creek and its many branches, including East Branch Wolf Creek, contrast with the rigid lines of the Penn Central railroad and a major Pipeline. Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including St Patricks Cem, Reisz Cem, and Jerusalem Cem, while the local Townhall serves as a civic anchor for the rural population near the western edge of the quadrangle.
