About this map

Ottoville and Fort Jennings anchor this portion of Putnam County, situated where the Little Auglaize River and the Auglaize River wind through the agricultural landscape of Northwest Ohio. The region's history is reflected in its numerous sacred sites, including Saint Marys Cem in Ottoville and Saint Josephs Cem in Fort Jennings. The township's rural character is defined by a rigid grid of roads like Blockberger Rd and Carpenter Rd that cross between county lines.

Small rural clusters such as Muntanna and Douglas dot the map, while Gerker Airfield indicates the modern aviation footprint amidst the traditional farming community. Waterways like Jennings Creek and Big Run drain the plains, providing natural landmarks in a territory otherwise dominated by the Public Land Survey System sections. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the intersection of family heritage and the persistent geography of the Auglaize watershed.
