About this map

Fairhaven and Boston anchor the landscape along the Indiana-Ohio border, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways and section-line roads. This borderland region is notably marked by family and community landmarks, including Concord Cem, Railsback Cem, and Pentecost Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Four Mile Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Four Mile Cr and Toney Run, carving through the agricultural plots of Wayne and Preble counties.

Industrial and transit history is visible in the placement of Witts Station and the rural junction at Five Points. Distinctive local features like the Harshman Bridge over Four Mile Cr and the small airstrip at Norris Field illustrate the mix of traditional infrastructure and modern utility. The map reveals a highly structured grid of county roads, including Old 122 and 4 Mile State Line Rd, which maintain the historical boundaries between the two states.
