About this map

Wharton and Kirby serve as the primary residential hubs in this portion of Wyandot County, surrounded by a highly organized agricultural grid. The landscape is defined by its extensive system of drainage and small waterways, including Potato Run, Baughman Run, and The Outlet, which feed into Tymochtee Creek at the southeastern edge. This water network, coupled with engineered features like Blake Ditch, illustrates the transformation of the region's flat topography into productive farmland.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites across the township, ranging from the centrally located Saint Marys Cem in Kirby to isolated rural plots like Spoon Cem, Armstrong Cem, and Inman Cem. The map traces a meticulously surveyed landscape of township and county highways, such as Co HWY 330 and State Rte 699, which follow the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
