2013 Map of Van Wert

About this map

The city of Van Wert serves as the focal point of this 2013 topographic study, illustrating the grid of a developed county seat situated within the agricultural expanse of western Ohio. The map captures the infrastructure supporting the local economy, from the Van Wert County Airport and the Van Wert County Fairgrounds to the dual basins of Van Wert Reservoir Number One and Van Wert Reservoir Number Two. Beyond the urban limits, the landscape transitions into large-scale farming operations, including the named family lands of Matthews Farms, Hoffman Farms, and Breese Farms. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the smaller communities of Ohio City and Jonestown, connected by a network of rural roads such as W Ervin Rd and the Lincoln Hwy. Several drainage systems, including Town Creek and the Little Auglaize River, carve through the township sections, while local history is preserved at Woodland Cemetery and Wallick Cemetery.
