About this map

The Auglaize River and its winding tributaries, including the Little Auglaize River and Middle Creek, define the landscape of this Paulding County region. Significant settlements like Oakwood and Grover Hill serve as local hubs, both maintaining their own Oakwood Post Office and Grover Hill Post Office locations. The northern reaches of the map include the historic site of Fort Brown near Canalport, while the central area is marked by the small communities of Melrose and Roselms.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites scattered across the rural townships, from the Auglaize Chapel Cemetery to family-named landmarks like Mallinger Cemetery, Hertel Cemetery, and Young Cemetery. This survey highlights a well-developed grid of rural roads and township highways that connect these remote homesteads and agricultural tracts, tracing the drainage patterns of Prairie Creek and Blue Creek.
