About this map

Bluffton and the smaller villages of Mount Cory and Rawson anchor this portion of Hancock County during the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by the intersection of modern transportation corridors and a deep-rooted agricultural grid, with the Bluffton Airport serving as a prominent local landmark near the southwestern edge. Waterways such as Ottawa Cr, Marsh Run, and Dukes Run cut through the geometric township and range lines, suggesting the original drainage patterns of the region's productive farmland.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Flick Cem, Clymer Cem, and Cannonsburg Cem. The map provides a precise layout of rural roads and township sections, such as t1s r9e and t2s r10e, which help trace local property history. The presence of Ross Lake and various agricultural ditches like the Homer Green Ditch further illustrate the managed hydrology essential to this western Ohio territory.
