2019 Map of Wharton

About this map

Wharton and Kirby anchor this agricultural landscape in northwestern Ohio, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and small waterways. The township lines of T2S R12E and T2S R13E meet near the Hardin and Wyandot county line, illustrating the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. Water management is central to the area's history, evidenced by features like The Outlet, Blake Ditch, and Potato Run. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family and community burial sites. These range from the centrally located Saint Marys Cem and Schoenberger Cem to more isolated sites such as Spoon Cem, Baughman Cem, and Jackson Center Cem. The road network, including Angling Rd and State Rte 293, connects these scattered landmarks across the Wyandot County countryside.
