About this map

The Mississinewa River and Salamonie River define the agricultural landscape along the county line between Jay Co and Randolph Co in the late twentieth century. This area is heavily influenced by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which slashes diagonally across the regular PLSS grid, affecting property lines and road orientations near Boundary City. Several small settlements serve as local anchors, including Deerfield near the Mississinewa and New Pittsburg to the east.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of family and community burial sites, such as Lawn Dale Cem, Reitenour Cem, and Old Prospect Cem. While the terrain is primarily devoted to farming, industrial activity is visible at the Sand and Gravel Pits and scattered energy infrastructure like the Gas Well and Oil Well sites. Historic community foundations are further evidenced by institutions like Zion Ch, located amidst the headwaters of Miller Creek.
