About this map

Edgerton stands as the primary hub of this corner of Williams and Defiance Counties, where the Saint Joseph River winds past the town’s street grid. The surrounding countryside is defined by agricultural sections and several small, distinct hamlets such as Mina, Melbern, and Farmer. Evidence of early settlement and community heritage is found in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including the Old Presbyterian Cem and Tamarack Cem.

Hydrological features like Big Lake, Little Lake, and the drainage of Ziegler Ditch shape the farm properties. The crossing at Denmark Bridge and the path of Us Rte 6 illustrate the regional connectivity that linked these farming communities. This map serves as a detailed record of the 2016 landscape, preserving the locations of family landmarks like the Thomas Cem and the small church site at Zion Lutheran Cem.
