2016 Map of Swanton

About this map

Swanton and Delta anchor this portion of the Ohio landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is defined by a dense grid of township and county roads. The drainage pattern is led by Swan Cr and Blue Cr, which wind through the township sections toward the Swanton Reservoir. A notable modern recreational feature is the N Country National Scenic Trail, which cuts horizontally across the center of the map through Brailey. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, documenting the deep-rooted local history at Fulton Union Cem, Centerville Cem, and several others like Lutheran Cem and Shiloh Cem. The transition from the developed streets of Swanton, such as Broadway Ave and Main St, to the rural expanse of Fulton and Lucas counties illustrates the continued balance between small-town growth and traditional farming.
