About this map

Wabash River and Mississinewa River define the northern landscape of this Miami County region, framing the residential expansion of South Peru and Park View Heights. The topographic detail records a mix of civic infrastructure and recreational transition, from the Maconaquah Park golf course to the Sewage Disposal plant. Further south, the settlement of Bunker Hill serves as a hub for the surrounding agricultural townships, connected by the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and Conrail lines.

Rural life is anchored by family and community landmarks such as Emmanuel Ch, Liberty Sch, and numerous small burial grounds including Leonda Cem and Rankin Cem. The landscape is etched with an extensive drainage network, including Pipe Creek and Lesher Ditch, supporting the productive farmland. Notable local sites like the Drag Strip near the southern boundary and the County Farm near South Peru provide specific points of interest for local historians.
