2016 Map of Scott

About this map

Van Wert anchor the southern edge of this West Ohio survey, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System defines a landscape of rural townships and family-run agricultural tracts. The village of Scott straddles the Paulding and Van Wert county line at the northern border, serving as a historic junction for the local road network. The terrain is intricately drained by numerous small waterways, including Hagerman Creek, Pottawatomie Creek, and Hoaglin Creek, which wind between section lines and established farmsteads. Local history is anchored by several small burial grounds like Oakland Cemetery and Mohr Cemetery, often the only remaining markers of the area's earliest pioneer settlements. Further south, the map documents the growth of the county seat as it expanded near Town Creek, showing the industrial and residential footprint of the city adjacent to the small hamlet of Cavett.
