About this map

West Unity serves as the central hub for this portion of Williams County, situated at a major crossroads in a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and winding waterways. The town's layout contrasts with the meandering path of the Tiffin River and Leatherwood Creek, which cut through the orderly sections of Brady Township. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Stryker sits near the river's edge, while Lock Port and Tiffin Meadows occupy the eastern banks, marking a corridor of historical development along the water.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family and community burial grounds preserved across these rural acres. From the Quaker Cemetery in the northeast to the French Cemetery in the south, these sites—including Ely Cemetery, Ring Cemetery, and Beaver Creek Cemetery—offer a clear record of the early families who settled this region. The interplay between the rigid road network and the natural flow of Bates Creek and Beaver Creek illustrates the persistent relationship between Ohio's rural infrastructure and its drainage basins.
