About this map

The Tiffin River and its numerous tributaries, including Leatherwood Cr and Beaver Cr, define the drainage and settlement patterns of this corner of Williams County. The village of West Unity sits as a central hub at the intersection of local routes, surrounded by a landscape of productive agricultural sites such as Maneval Farms and Tiffin Meadows. To the south, the village of Stryker borders the river, while the smaller settlement of Lock Port remains situated near the Fulton County line.

Local family history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds. Researchers can find the Quaker Cem, French Cem, and Ring Cem, along with the Lockport Cem near the riverbanks. The rectangular township and range grid, marked by sections such as t10s r1w and t6n r4e, organizes the territory around these long-established communities and their outlying farmsteads.
