A Mercer County township map answers two different questions around Mendon: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. Below we sort out the kinds of townships in Mercer County and where to see each one.
How to use the Mercer County township map
A township name on a county tax record refers to the civil township where the land near Montezuma sits. The survey township cited in deeds near Celina sits on the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles, split into 36 sections of about 640 acres.
The county map you'll pair it with
Mercer County publishes its parcels on the Mercer County ArcGIS parcel map, which runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map, free to use for a lot in Chickasaw or a piece of ground near Celina. Use the search box for an address in Chickasaw or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a piece of ground near Celina. Our Mercer County, OH page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Celina in one place.
Seeing township lines on the Mercer County map
Open the Mercer County ArcGIS parcel map and look in the layer list for township or municipal boundaries; click a parcel near Montezuma and the record often names the township. Copy the section-township-range from the Mercer County parcel record to match it with a deed or an older atlas.
Sections, quarters and roads in Mercer County
Near Mendon, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a fresh survey township, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36. Quarter-quarter descriptions in Mercer County are read from the end: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Coldwater may not be exactly 640 acres.
Old names and overlapping districts in Mercer County
If a county deed near Carthagena cites a township that no longer appears on the map, the county recorder can most often explain the change. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Mercer County don't always follow township lines near Mendon, so check each one separately.
Work and land use in Mercer County
In 2022 the Census Bureau tallied 1,050 establishments in Mercer County; retail trade topped the list. Compared with national shares, Mercer County leans toward textile product mills and agriculture and forestry support services, which shapes demand for land near Montezuma.
From Celina to the back roads
Town lots cluster around Celina, the county seat, and Burkettsville, Chickasaw, Coldwater, and Fort Recovery. Unincorporated communities in the county, including Maria Stein, Carthagena, and Cassella, display up as small groups of parcels along the roads. Census Bureau estimates put Mercer County at about 42,439 residents in 2023 on roughly 462 square miles of land. The Mercer County map mixes subdivision lots near Celina with farm and wooded tracts farther out.
Tracts that cross the Mercer County line
A farm near the county line can carry separate records in Adams County, IN, Jay County, IN, and Auglaize County as well. Our Ohio page links each map neighboring Mercer County.
Mercer County land records
For land near Celina, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it. For a parcel near Burkettsville, the appraisal comes from the county auditor, the office Ohio charges with valuing real estate for taxes. Easements and access rights near Burkettsville live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the county map.
Why the township matters
Township lines near Montezuma can matter more than the mailing town, and the county record is the better guide than an address. When you compare tax bills for land near Celina, check if the parcels sit in the same township; levies can differ across the line.
