About this map

Unionport and Buena Vista anchor the northern landscape of this agricultural region, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their winding paths through Randolph Co. The map reveals a high concentration of drainage features and small waterways, such as Cabin Cr and Martindale Cr, which define the local topography. Further south, the settlements of Huntsville, Modoc, and Carlos are positioned along a structured grid of county roads, illustrating the classic Midwestern township and range development pattern.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Salem Cem and Jordon Cem. The southern edge of the survey captures the boundary with Wayne Co, where the Whitewater River and Morgan Cr flow toward the south. This 2016 record documents the enduring rural character of these townships, punctuated by small clusters of homes and a dense network of named agricultural drains and runs.
