2010 Map of Payne

About this map

Payne serves as the primary hub in this corner of Paulding County, where the Payne Post Office remains a central landmark amidst a landscape defined by its grid of rural roads and meandering waterways. The drainage patterns of Flatrock Creek, Cunningham Creek, and Blue Creek create natural breaks in the orderly agricultural layout. Local genealogy is well-represented by several family and parish burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Catholic Cemetery near the main settlement and the outlying Snellenbarger Cemetery and Dealey Cemetery. Small, dispersed communities such as Worstville, Briceton, and Tipton illustrate the historic settlement density of the Ohio countryside during the early 21st century. The map also captures modern residential growth in the Riverview Park Subdivision, contrasting with the more established hamlets of Batson and Logtown.
