2010 Map of Dawn

About this map

The Stillwater River meanders through this portion of Darke County, shaping a rural landscape defined by small crossroad settlements and a significant concentration of burial grounds. Communities such as Frenchtown, Beamsville, and Stelvideo serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The map reveals a high density of family and community cemeteries, including the Kershner Cemetery, Coppess Cemetery, and Stoner Cemetery, which provide vital touchstones for local genealogical research. Aviation is represented by both the Darke County Airport and Skylane Field, contrasting with the traditional land use patterns of the region. Waterways like Indian Creek, Boyd Creek, and Harris Creek cut through the grid of country roads, while the presence of the Wakefield Lutheran Cemetery and Saint Johns Lutheran Cemetery reflects the religious heritage of the early families who settled this territory north of Greenville.
