About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this portion of Seneca County, a reminder of the historical land divisions that shaped northwest Ohio. Centered on the village of New Riegel, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of Wolf Creek and its various branches, including East Branch Wolf Creek and Middle Branch Wolf Creek. These waterways dictate the drainage of a largely agricultural region divided into the townships of Loudon, Hopewell, Seneca, and Big Spring.

Transportation and community life are anchored by the Penn Central railroad corridor, which connects the smaller settlements of Berwick, Frenchtown, and Adrian. For genealogists, the map identifies critical local landmarks such as St James Ch, the Townhall, and several rural burial grounds including St Patricks Cem, Reisz Cem, and Jerusalem Cem. Multiple pipelines also cut across the terrain, reflecting the industrial infrastructure underlying the rural surface.
