About this map

The city of Berne serves as the central hub of this eastern Indiana landscape, characterized by a highly organized grid of rural roads and an extensive network of drainage channels. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the numerous named waterways, including Wittmer Number One Ditch, Habegger Ditch, and Smith Shoemaker Ditch, which manage the water flow across the flat terrain towards the Wabash River in the southwest.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds such as Ray Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, Graber Cemetery, and Mazelin Cemetery. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Monroe and Coppess Corner, provide specific points of reference for tracing family roots. The presence of Sprungers South Adams County Airstrip north of Berne adds a functional landmark to this primarily agrarian setting, while roads like Swiss Way hint at the local cultural heritage found within Berne.
