About this map

The Indiana Ohio State Line serves as the central axis for this rural landscape, where the agricultural grids of Allen and Adams counties in Indiana meet those of Paulding and Van Wert counties in Ohio. The village of Monroeville stands as the primary hub in the northwest, featuring a concentrated street plan and the Odd Fellows Cem. Smaller settlements like Dixon and Wolfcale are scattered along the survey lines, connected by an extensive network of named roads such as Hoffman Road and Convoy Road.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, including numerous small burial grounds and parish sites like Hoffman Cem, Bethlehem Ch, and Walnut Grove Ch. The drainage patterns of Flatrock Creek and Blue Creek cut diagonally across the rigid section lines, dictating the placement of early farms and bridge crossings. This survey preserves the mid-century layout of these border townships before late-twentieth-century infrastructure changes.
