About this map

Annapolis and Melrose anchor this 2015 survey of the fertile landscape straddling the border of Clark and Crawford Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, including Muddy Creek, Maple Creek, and several branches of Raccoon Creek that carve through the agricultural fields. Smaller settlements like Orange and Neadmore are scattered along the grid-like road network, often centered around long-standing landmarks such as Wesley Chapel Cemetery and Olive Branch Cemetery.

The map reveals a landscape deeply rooted in local heritage, where family and community history is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds like Stanfield Cemetery, Cox Cemetery, and Medsker Cemetery. To the northeast, the terrain opens near Craig Lake, while the township's character is shaped by the convergence of several creeks, including Big Creek and Elm Creek, which dictate the local drainage patterns and the placement of rural homesteads.
