2013 Map of Swanton

About this map

Swanton and Delta anchor this portion of the northwestern Ohio landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is defined by a rigid grid of country roads. The boundary between Fulton and Lucas Counties runs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, passing just east of the village center. This area is notably dense with local burial grounds, including Fulton Union Cem, Saint Richards Cem, and the Centerville Cem, offering significant data for genealogical research. Smaller unincorporated communities like Brailey and Peaceful Valley are connected by a network of creeks, such as Ai Cr and Swan Cr, which break the geometric precision of the surveyed fields. The presence of the Swanton Reservoir and Fulton Pond highlights the local water management essential for these prairie settlements.
