2010 Map of Swanton

About this map

Swanton serves as the primary municipal hub in this northwestern Ohio landscape, anchored by the Swanton Post Office and the nearby Swanton Reservoir. The region is defined by a dense network of county roads that carve the terrain into a predictable agricultural grid, interspersed with small community clusters like Brailey, South Delta, and Peaceful Valley. This 2010 survey reveals a significant concentration of local heritage sites, with numerous burial grounds such as Fulton Union Cemetery, Saint Richards Cemetery, and the Lutheran Cemetery preserving family names and settlement history. Waterways like Swan Creek and its tributaries, including Fearless Creek and Bad Creek, wind through the township, influencing the placement of early homesteads and current landmarks like the Delta Wings Airport. The map documents a classic Midwestern crossroads economy where small-town infrastructure meets expansive rural homesteads.
