About this map

The settlement of Berne serves as the focal point of this 1960s study, showcasing a compact town grid supported by the Pennsylvania RR and a developed local water system including the Waterworks. North of town, the community of Monroe and Coppess Corner anchor the northern landscape alongside the Adams Central Sch and the Friends Meetinghouse. This area of Adams County is defined by an extensive network of drainage features such as Smith Ditch, Blue Creek, and the Habegger Ditch, reflecting the intensive agricultural engineering required in the Wabash River basin.

Local family history is preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including the Graber Cem, Mazelin Cem, and Hoosier Cem. Several rural congregations, such as Pleasant Valley Ch and Christian Mission Ch, are scattered across the townships of Washington, Monroe, and French. The southern edge of the survey reaches the Wabash River, where the terrain transitions from the strictly gridded section roads of the northern plains.
