About this map

The railroad town of Willard serves as a central hub in this Huron County landscape, where the local economy transitions from the municipal grid into the muck-soil agriculture of Celeryville. The map captures the intricate water systems and drainage patterns of the region, including the headwaters of the West Branch Huron River and the engineered expanses of the Willard City Reservoir and Holiday Lake. In the northern reaches, the community of Steuben and the industrial imprint at Phoenix Mills show the historical spread of settlement along local waterways and early road networks.

Genealogists will find this 2013 survey particularly valuable for its density of burial sites, ranging from the Old Greenwood Cem and Greenwood Cem in town to rural family and denominational plots like the Fullmer Farm Cem, Mennonite Cem, and Guinea Corners Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the historic settlement of New Haven and the northern edge of Plymouth, connected by the vital corridors of Us-224 and Oh-103.
