2016 Map of Deedsville

About this map

Deedsville and the surrounding Miami County agricultural landscape are defined by an intricate network of man-made drainage systems and small rural settlements. This modern survey illustrates how water management shapes the Indiana plains, with numerous named channels like Robbins-Taylor Ditch and Wilson Rhodes Ditch supporting the local topography. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed in its placement of historic burial grounds, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Musselman Cem. Small clusters of homes and buildings remain centered around Gilead, Macy, and Birmingham, connected by a precise grid of county roads such as W Macy Gilead Rd. Natural watercourses like Weesau Cr and Squirrel Cr wind through the township boundaries, providing a contrast to the geometric agricultural plots.
