1962 Map of Bluffton

Outside the municipal limits, the landscape is defined by the Norfolk and Western railroad and a grid of rural roads named for local families, such as Crosbie Road and Mulligan Road. Smaller settlements like Poneto, Travisville, and Reiffshurg serve as navigation points across the townships of Harrison, Liberty, and Nottingham. These townships are further characterized by scattered country churches including Prairie Ch and Bethel Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted social fabric of the rural Wells County countryside during this era.
