About this map

The Saint Marys River meanders across this rural landscape, serving as a primary drainage feature for the surrounding agricultural lands of Mercer and Van Wert counties. The village of Rockford acts as the local center, situated at the intersection of US Rte 33 and Smith Rd. The town's grid is clearly delineated, showing streets like W Bridge St and Columbia St near the riverbank. This 2019 survey documents a landscape heavily influenced by family and community history, evidenced by more than ten distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships.

Small settlements and landmarks like Bursville and Sanift Ditch illustrate the persistent rural character of the region. Genealogists and local historians can find specifically named sites such as Zimerman Cem and Riverside Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the road network, including historic routes like Shanes Rd and Old Trail Rd, which follow the natural contours of the river valley and field boundaries.
