1959 Map of Ridgeville Corners

About this map

Ridgeville Corners serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Northwest Ohio, where the borders of Henry, Fulton, Defiance, and Williams counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of local township roads, including Nagel Road and Allen Road, which segment the flat drainage basins of Brush Creek and Owl Creek. This 1959 survey, updated with 1971 aerial data, captures a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by its scattered houses of worship and resting places. Genealogists and local historians will find family and community landmarks such as St Johns Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Domersville Cem positioned alongside early infrastructure like the prominent pipelines that cut diagonally across the traditional section lines of Adams and Ridgeville townships.
