About this map

The village of Edon serves as a local hub in Williams County near the intersection of the Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan borders. This rural landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and drainage ditches, such as Tamarack Ditch, Eagle Cr, and Fish Cr, which support the region's agricultural character. Small clusters of settlement like Metz and Alvarado are connected by a rigid grid of county roads, punctuated by family and community landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Edon Cem, Eddy Cem, and Ligett Cem. The reliance on local infrastructure is evident in the named crossings that span the area's creeks, such as Shaffer Bridge, Anspaugh Bridge, and Campbell Bridge. These features, along with the distinct township and range boundaries of t37n r15e and t7n r1e, provide a clear view of the land division and community development in this tri-state corner.
