2016 Map of Versailles

About this map

The Stillwater River cuts a prominent diagonal across this West Central Ohio landscape, marking a boundary between the agricultural uplands and the river valley. The village of Versailles stands as the primary hub in the northwest, while smaller settlements like Russia, Webster, and Bloomer are interspersed among the rectangular grid of county roads. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites reflecting the area's early settlement patterns, ranging from the Saint Valberts Cem near the northern border to the Old Harris Creek Cem further south. The drainage network is intricately detailed, featuring numerous named waterways such as Indian Cr, Swamp Cr, and Harris Cr that feed into the main river system. This terrain is characterized by a mix of natural watercourses and man-made drainage like Kluse Ditch, illustrating the intensive management of this fertile farming region.
