About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this portion of Auglaize County, marking a fundamental division in the local landscape between the townships of Union, Clay, and Duchouquet. This 1961 survey captures a rural landscape defined by small agricultural hamlets and a dense network of family-named cemeteries, such as Fairmount Cem and Lockhart Cem. The village of Uniopolis serves as a central hub, situated where the Detroit Toledo and Ironton RR meets local roads, while St Johns sits further south near numerous gravel pits.

Transportation is a primary theme, with the New York Central railroad corridor cutting through the southwestern corner near Fryburg. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways including the Auglaize River and Blackhoof Creek, which flow through a patchwork of woodlots and fields. Notable local landmarks like Mt Lookout and the Wesley Chapel provide reference points for the area's social and geographic history.
