About this map

Van Wert serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, showcasing a grid of residential and industrial development transitioning into the expansive agricultural landscape of Western Ohio. The city's infrastructure is anchored by the Van Wert County Airport and a critical water management system including the City Reservoir and Van Wert Reservoir Number One. Significant transportation arteries like the historic Lincoln Hwy cross the northern reaches, while numerous rural routes such as Middle Point Rd and Van Wert Willshire Rd connect the surrounding townships.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by established burial grounds including Woodland Cem in the north, Wallick Cem near the center, and Walnut Grove Cem to the south. The natural drainage of the region is defined by several waterways like Town Cr, Moun Prairie Cr, and the Little Auglaize River, which carve subtle paths through the flat terrain toward smaller outlying settlements like Ohio City and Jonestown.
