About this map

The Mississinewa River flows westward through the southern half of this landscape, anchoring a network of small agricultural settlements and family-named cemeteries. Historic crossroads such as Deerfield, Randolph, and New Pittsburg define the local geography, while Boundary City and Bluff Point sit along the north-south corridors further up the sheet. The terrain is deeply inscribed with a systematic grid of county roads, punctuated by older diagonal routes like E Treaty Line Rd and S Boundary Pike, which reflect early territorial surveys and historical boundary lines.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds distributed across the townships, including Hawkins Cemetery near the Little Salamonie River and Old Prospect Cemetery in the southern reaches. Numerous small tributaries, such as Goshen Creek, Buckeye Creek, and Mud Creek, drain the fields between the rural hubs of Antioch and Collett, illustrating the importance of water management in this established Indiana farming region.
