About this map

Ashley and Hudson anchor the southern portion of this landscape, straddling the line between Steuben and DeKalb counties. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Golden Lake, Tamarack Lake, and the connected Long Lake and Pleasant Lake. These lakes are joined by a system of man-made and natural waterways such as Pigeon Creek, Smathers Ditch, and Johnson Ditch, reflecting the drainage engineering common to this part of the state.

Small communities like Moonlight, Steubenville, and Summit dot the countryside, connected by a grid of county roads such as W 600 S and W 400 S. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the townships, from the Hollister Cem and Trinity Cem in the west to the Barkers Chapel Cem near the eastern border. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit near Pleasant Lake, showing the ongoing extraction of glacial deposits that characterize this region's geology.
