1992 Map of Deedsville

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this agricultural landscape, a persistent historical line that continues to influence the platting of fields and roads in rural northern Indiana. Centered on the village of Deedsville, the area is defined by a dense network of water management features like Taylor Ditch and Pleasant Hill Ditch, which drain the low-lying terrain into larger courses such as Weesau Creek and Flowers Creek. These watercourses dictate the placement of small rural hubs like Gilead and Macy, which appear here as they stood in the early 1990s.
