2019 Map of Payne

About this map

Payne serves as the primary hub in this corner of Paulding County, where the street grid of W Merrin St and W Townline St anchors the local community. The surrounding landscape is defined by a systematic township and range grid, predominantly agricultural, through which several meandering waterways pass. Flatrock Creek and its tributary Wildcat Cr cut across the northern sections, while Cunningham Cr and Blue Cr drain the southern reaches. Numerous small family and parish cemeteries, such as Snellenbarger Cem and Dealey Cem, are scattered across the township sections, offering significant value for genealogical research. Smaller rail or crossroads settlements including Worstville, Briceton, Batson, and Tipton mark the intersections of the county's rural road network, illustrating the distributed nature of early 21st-century rural Ohio life.
