About this map

The Auglaize River and Little Auglaize River dominate this Paulding County landscape, converging near the historic site of Fort Brown. This 2019 survey illustrates the dense agricultural grid of northwestern Ohio, punctuated by small rural communities like Oakwood, Melrose, and Grover Hill. For those researching local history, the map provides an exceptionally high concentration of family and community burial sites, from the Kingery Cem in the north to the Young Cem and Fought Cem in the south.

Waterways like Blue Creek, Middle Creek, and Prairie Cr define the drainage patterns between these settlements. The inclusion of the N Country National Scenic Trail cutting diagonally through the center of the sheet reflects modern recreational land use atop the traditional farming landscape. The layout of Roselms and other hamlets suggests a persistent pattern of rural habitation that has remained largely unchanged in its geographic footprint over the decades.
