2010 Map of Sherwood

About this map

The Maumee River defines the southern reach of this landscape, carving a deep oxbow near the settlement of The Bend where Snooks Run and Sulphur Creek meet the main channel. This 2010 survey illustrates the rural character of western Defiance County, anchored by the village of Sherwood, which serves as a central hub for the surrounding township. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including the New Saint Stephens Catholic Cemetery and Saint Johns Lutheran Cemetery, reflecting a long history of local church-based settlement. Small-scale infrastructure like Rogers Airport and the Sherwood Post Office sit amidst a grid of section roads named for early families, such as Openlander Rd and Behnfeldt Rd. Further north, the landscape is drained by a network of seasonal waterways including Lost Creek and Dry Creek, while the small community of Moats remains established near its namesake Moats Cemetery.
