2023 Map of Saint Marys

About this map

St. Marys and the northern shores of Grand Lake anchor this topographic survey of the Mercer and Auglaize County border. The landscape is defined by the legacy of early nineteenth-century engineering, notably the Miami & Erie Canal St and the Saint Marys River, which historically connected this region to broader trade networks. Modern infrastructure like US Rte 33 now bisects the terrain, yet the area maintains a high concentration of genealogical sites, including the Old Catholic Cem, Elm Grove Cem, and Murray Cem. Smaller clusters of settlement such as Neptune, Villa Nova, and Bulkhead provide evidence of the area's development around the reservoir and waterway. The map also traces the North Country National Scenic Trl as it follows the historical canal corridor through the city center.
