About this map

Agricultural lands in northern Miami County define this landscape, centered on the small rural crossroads of Macy, Deedsville, and Gilead. The region is crisscrossed by a dense network of managed waterways, including Bower Ditch, Taylor Ditch, and Foor Ditch, which support the drainage and productivity of the surrounding fields. These man-made channels feed into natural watercourses such as Squirrel Creek and Weesau Creek.

For family historians, the area is notable for its numerous well-preserved burial grounds. Clusters of heritage are found at the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery near Birmingham, as well as the Tilden Cemetery, Yike Cemetery, and Musselman Cemetery. The township's layout remains remarkably consistent with its 19th-century grid, visible in the alignment of N Meridian Rd and various numbered county roads that connect these scattered settlements and cemeteries.
