2019 Map of Shiloh

About this map

Shiloh anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the street grid of Main St W and Superior St meets the rural agricultural expanse of northern Ohio. The map documents a cluster of traditional crossroads settlements, including Planktown, Rome, and Ganges, each defined by their historic cemeteries and proximity to local waterways. The hydrology of the region is notably complex, as the terrain divides between the northward-flowing Southwest Br Vermilion River and the southward-draining Black Fork Mohican River. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites such as Mount Hope Cem and the Evangelical German Reform Cem, reflecting the early religious and community life of these townships. The survey highlights how the land has been organized by the sectional grid, with roads like Base Line Rd W and Rome Greenwich Rd serving as the primary arteries for this enduring farming region.
