2016 Map of Wetsel

About this map

Hoaglin and Wetzel anchor this rural landscape where three Ohio counties—Van Wert, Paulding, and Putnam—meet. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of township and county roads, such as Van Wert-Paulding Co Line Rd and Elm Sugar Rd, reflecting the late-era agricultural layout of the region. Waterways like Big Run and Dog Cr cut across the geometric field patterns, while small clusters of settlement persist at Seamersville and Ridge. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies specific burial grounds including Dotson Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Ridge Cem, providing precise locations for ancestral research. The intersection of major thoroughfares like US Rte 224 and Co Hwy 185 illustrates the modern transportation network laid over the historic township sections of T1N and T1S.
