About this map

The Wabash River and Mississinewa River converge in the northern portion of this Miami County landscape, anchoring the city of Peru and its surrounding neighborhoods like South Peru and Park View Heights. This area illustrates a classic Midwestern transition from an urban river center to a grid of agricultural land and small hamlets. A significant geographic feature is the Nickle Plate Rail-Trl, which preserves the corridor of a former major rail line through Bunker Hill and southward toward Loree.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the rural townships, including Sharpee Cem, Salem Cem, Rankin Cem, and Leonda Cem. The map tracks the drainage patterns of the area via numerous named channels like Salem Ditch and Pipe Creek, which supported the reclamation of the land for farming. Small rural settlements like McGrawsville and Flora remain as nodes in the transportation network alongside aviation landmarks such as Goodenough Airport.
