About this map

The settlement of Berne serves as the focal point of this Adams County landscape, characterized by a complex network of agricultural drainage systems and rural homesteads. The town's grid is detailed with streets like W Main St and Parkway St, illustrating the core of this community. To the north, the smaller village of Monroe and the junction at Coppess Corner mark the transition into more open farmland.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, including Ray Cem, Smith Cem, and Graber Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships. The drainage of the land is managed by an extensive series of named waterways, such as Wittmer Number One Ditch and Habegger Ditch, eventually feeding toward the Wabash River in the south. This intricate hydrological engineering defines the region's agricultural utility and historical development patterns.
