1960 Map of Dixon

About this map

Monroeville serves as the primary hub on this Indiana-Ohio borderlands landscape, defined by the path of the Pennsylvania Railroad as it cuts northwest through the terrain. The map details a strictly organized agricultural grid where drainage is managed through an extensive network of ditches, such as Lortie Ditch and Scott Ditch, which support the surrounding farmsteads. Small, localized settlements like Dixon, East Liberty, and Wolfcale dot the rural intersections, often anchored by community landmarks including Walnut Grove Ch and Bethlehem Ch. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds recorded across these townships, from the Odd Fellows Cem near Monroeville to smaller family-named sites like McNeal Cem, Hoffman Cem, and Alpha Cem. The prominent state line division between Allen Co, Indiana, and Van Wert Co, Ohio, dictates the alignment of roads and property boundaries throughout the survey area.
