About this map

The agricultural landscape of Northwest Ohio is defined here by a precise grid of rural section lines and township boundaries, including Jackson and Hoaglin. Small rural hamlets like Wetsel and Seamansville serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmstead network. The terrain is notably flat, drained by a series of winding waterways such as Hoaglin Creek, Town Creek, and Dog Creek.

Family history and community life are anchored by several country houses of worship, including Mt Pleasant Ch and Harmony Ch. Near the Paulding and Putnam County line, the Tri-County Airport provides a modern utility to the region, while the Quarry Carmean indicates local industrial activity. To the south, the County Home and Ridge Cem mark the edge of the Ridge township, illustrating the established social and civic infrastructure of Van Wert County during the mid-20th century.
