About this map

The Little Wabash River winds through a landscape of wetlands and riverine lowlands along the boundary of Wayne and Edwards counties. This territory is defined by its complex drainage network, where numerous sloughs and ponds, such as Half Moon Pond, Horseshoe Pond, and White Oak Slough, dominate the terrain adjacent to the river. The natural topography is highlighted by elevations like Turkey Ridge and the prominent Rattlesnake Bluff, which rise above the floodplains and diversion ditches.

Agricultural infrastructure and rural family history are well-preserved in the layout of the road grid and various small cemeteries. Notable burial grounds including McKendrie Cem, Walker Cem, and Locust Grove Cem are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital points for genealogical research. Connectivity across the water is maintained through several named crossings, including the Base Line Bridge, Massilon Bridge, and Hedge Bridge, reflecting the ongoing relationship between local transit and the river's path.
