About this map

Wharton and Kirby anchor this section of Wyandot County, showcasing a landscape defined by highly regular agricultural surveying and an extensive drainage network. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous named waterways, including Potato Run, Baughman Run, and Oak Run, alongside man-made improvements like Blake Ditch. These watercourses dictate the subtle shifts in the otherwise geometric grid of township and county highways that partition the farmland.

Family and community history is exceptionally well-preserved through more than a dozen documented burial sites. Genealogists can trace local lineages at the Spoon Cemetery, Murrey Cemetery, Armstrong Cemetery, and Krock Cemetery, among many others scattered throughout the townships. The presence of the Kirby Post Office marks the village of Kirby as a local hub, while the surrounding roads, such as County Hwy-330 and Township Highway 83, provide the connective tissue for this rural Ohio community.
