About this map

Willshire serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated along the Saint Marys River at the northern edge of the Van Wert and Mercer county line. The village layout is anchored by the Willshire Post Office, with the Willshire Cemetery located just to the east. The surrounding countryside is defined by an orderly grid of rural roads and a complex network of waterways, including Blue Creek, Duck Creek, and Little Blue Creek.

Further south, the small community of Chattanooga marks the southeastern corner of the survey, accompanied by the Zion Cemetery. For family historians, these local burial sites, along with the Duck Creek Cemetery and Tricker Cemetery, provide essential spatial context for nineteenth and twentieth-century land ownership. Private aviation is also represented on this agricultural terrain by Winkler Airport and Hamrick Airport, while the settlement of Salem sits toward the west, rounding out the rural residential pattern.
